legalbeagle Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I agree Otta - and I've mentioned both those things. No blaggers, hence suggestion about registration, and if you are terrified then I'm sure cabin staff can make suitable arrangements so that you aren't next to one.

Many other dogs can be well-behaved who will lie quietly at their owners feet for hours on end - probably more likely to sleep through a flight than children who tend to have a shorter attention span(and no, I'm not suggesting we ban them from flights) I might have a PTSD phobia of bearded men but I'm not going to suggest that all men on planes are clean-shaven.

Otta Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I was only talking about if there was no regulation, so in theory it could be any dog.Assistance dogs tend to be less threatening breeds.Although I once worked with a guide god called Samson, a MASSIVE German Shepherd with a mouth like a crocodile. He was pretty scary, but lovely.

Alan Medic Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I can't believe this thread exists. I love the time I spent with our dog when we were growing up but I haven't been in a position to have one since. We have a snake.

Jeremy Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 It's one thing having a properly trained and registered guide/assistance dog in a flight, which happily sits there. But having some mutt leaping around, barking and shitting on the floor... don't think I'd be particularly happy.

Mustard Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 The actor who plays Superman has an huge Akita as his emotional support dog. Now that is a big dog to have on a flight.
