Yes, absolutely is was - I thought I made it clear but sorry for being vague!

Yes, it was the same lady and pooch - I recognized it straight away. I had been considering checking on the cash upgrade to 1st availability but had my mind made up right there and then for me! (Thanks FT'ers )

I didn't make my way downstairs as I slept the entire trip. (I never sleep before taking this 6.40am flight from BKK - fear of missing my alarm as I am a night owl anyway). Apologies for not being a diligent FTer!

I did hear a kid on the jetway debarking in NRT commenting on the fact 'first class people can take their dogs onboard' so I assume pooch was with owner in the cabin as before. No bad smells wafted their way upstairs.

Where was she headed to originally SFO? Maybe she will take pooch into a shower stall at NRT RCC!? ewwwwww....
