That may be - but your dog is an animal, and the baby is a human. To most people, there's no moral equivalence between the two. Equally, very few people are allergic to other human beings (although I grant you that there are plenty of FTers with deep sociopathic tendencies! ).

The dog's a dog, put it in the hold. It certainly never killed my cat on numerous long-haul trips.
