“Dog is a female and their weight is 110-140 pounds.”

That is a freaking big dog! My Siberian is not that big! Am looking at Great Danes on Petfinder right now, man o man Scooby Doo was not a Paris Hilton mutt!

I don’t see how it was under the seat when these airlines have no room to change your mind. There must be more to this story. It was wrong for him to hit both the dog and the woman but still I think for a dog that big the airlines should require the owner to buy the dog his own seat!

The airline can not request this, ADA rules do not allow special charges for service animals. Forcing her to buy a seat would be a charge for the animal, not allowed.

I have a friend who’s dog was task trained in addition to K-9 trained for protection. She’s blind and lives alone. The training required for this dog was well into the $20K+ figure, if this fool had hit her, he’d be in a hospital or dead. He was lucky this was just a task trained dog.
