One very important thing to consider with allergies is the load factor: a service dog at the next gate is not going to generate sufficient allergens to cause a reaction in someone. Add another 10 pet dogs to the area, and then there's a major problem.

Perhaps if you don't understand the problem it would be advisable to refrain from commenting on it, especially for your very first FT post.
