Not sure if this fits the DYKWIA bill but I'll post it anyway. Right now I'm in the JFK SC. There is a guy with a little dog, took it out of the crate, put it on the fabric chair next to him, and started feeding him pieces of food taken from the breakfast bar, like a boss. Barf.

This guy shouldn't have put the dog on the chair, but I'd be OK with airports having more dogs and fewer people.

I didn't. Stink eye given and acknowledged. I saw at least couple more stink eyes being thrown his way and the dog was removed about a minute later. Pup was relocated to his lap. Acceptable.

I love dogs, but a dog out of a carrier (unless legitimate service dog) in an airport or on a plane is unacceptable.

IMHO, dog owners in general have a grossly exaggerated idea of what is appropriate. They think everyone just loves dogs and they don't understand why people have an issue with their saliva and germs (and poo). I like dogs, but they don't belong in a lounge unless in a carrier.
Yes, I'm a cat owner and you won't see my cats drooling over the food in the lounge. They'll be at home where they belong.
