Flying with Dogs (Literally)

Heh! Okay, believe it or not, these are serious questions:

Does anyone have any experience traveling with dogs on United? For example:

I understand that there are limited numbers of dog "seats" available for Economy and First Class. If I use an award ticket for First Class, can I travel with my dog using the First Class slot? If my dog is traveling with a friend and I upgrade her to First Class, can my dog take the First Class slot traveling with her?

What is the difference between the Economy dog slots and the First Class dog slots? Is there a difference in treatment of the dogs themselves, or is this just a way to control the number of dogs-per-flight?

Can the 1k desk help me with dog travel or would I just get shuffled off somewhere to a dog-travel-specialty-desk?

Would also be interested in hearing some experiences and tips from people who have traveled with timid dogs (especially on their first airline flight).

By the way, there is some UA Pet Travel info at:
