“Gate agents kept yelling at passengers and the cabin crew. The smell never quite went away. First class toilet declared unusable as the dog mess was apparently unresolved in there. Food went bad while on the ground so very few snacks left.”

Many of the feedback on the put up noticed folks slam those that resolve to take their dogs on planes. Much of the anger gave the impression to be directed in the direction of service dogs.
One person stated: “Another post about badly behaved ‘service’ dogs on planes! Will anything be done about it? Spoiler alert: NO.” Another stated: “All animals need to either be in a crate or in the cargo hold. Only service animals should be for the blind. You don’t need an “emotional support dog” for a freaking plane ride.”
A 3rd livid individual wrote: “Dog people are crazy and I am sick of the ‘he’s my baby’ mentality of owners. It’s a freaking animal. And the owner should be made to clean that mess up. Take a dog on a plane-clean up your mess.”
