Although I love my dog and all, I do not want to sit next to someone on a plane who loves their ferret or rabbit .(and therefore wants their pet on their lap as well) .. so I can see the point .... but I do think of Freeway as a "person" and would love it if he could sit on my lap ....
You always have to look at it from someone else's perspective ... **alas*** Quote:

They don't know if your dog will bite someone or get up and run around and cause a commotion. Then if they let someone w/ a calm, chilled dog outside of a kennel on a plane, they have to let EVERY dog outside of a kennel on a plane, no matter what it's temperment.
As for people being upset, you have to remember not everyone is a fan of dogs. |
