What type of dog is this?

I'm curious as to how the dog would be secured for takeoff and landing, particularly as there is no obvious way to do this in the CW cabin. It's a long flight to LAX, and our dog (healthy Lab) wouldn't be able to hold in a number 1 or 2 for that length during the day. I really do think it would be better for all concerned for the pet to travel in the hold.
