This nuisance has been going on for quite some time and not long ago, you missed a rant of a thread on the AA forum.
Pet people have figured out how to bypass the rules by getting letters from doctors and fake vests and certificates and flying on U.S. airlines is a giant pig pen. IMHO
But due to the U.S. Disability Act, no one can seem to do anything about it even if the authorities acknowledge they know about it.
This idiocy has made things more challenging for people who use seeing-eye dogs and similar. A real service dog is properly trained and certified and barking is not something they do.
Until such time as one of these fake dogs bites another pax, nothing will be done.
