I'm perfectly fine with support dogs. I know that there are support animals that can tell an epileptic are about to have a seizure and warn the person so they can get to a safe place.

You can't tell me that there aren't valid emotional support animals.





But, I think they should be trained and treated like a regular support animal for the blind or otherwise handicapped or any other sort of support dog.

I met a guy in the grocery store one day that had a support animal. I feel fairly certain that the guy probably needed the dog and the dog acted, to me, like a seeing-eye dog. Completely uninterested in anything going on around him other than staying with his owner.

What I do think is crap are the people that are abusing the system, and I believe that the woman in the original post is one of them. Basically, bringing a regular old pet along because you're happier when you can bring your pet is BS. I'd like to see a judgement against the lady with the dog (no money will ever come from it, but I'd like it to happen), and a payout from the airline or airport.

I'm not a fan of BS litigation, but for this sort of thing, I don't think anything is going to change until it starts costing people money and/or ending up in court.
