I thought you said your dog doesn't bite?

That is not my dog.

I’ve asked to be reseated before because the maniac next to me has a dog in a carrier. Unreal. Box the pooch up and make it ride below. I hope the passenger and American get sued....they shouldn’t allow that crap.

They’re called Maligators for a reason.

Imo,it’s a whole scam unless you have a seeing eye dog or actually need the dog...these people in their little pooches they take everywhere because they’re too cheap to kennel them.

That is one reason I like Netflix. I found another favorite of mine, Green Acres, on Pluto TV. I always love it when Mr Kimball comes to visit.

California also has a law prohibiting any dogs except legit service dogs in grocery stores, but I see a lot of regular old “Fifi”, etc. dogs in Walmart, and other grocery stores lately.

It was out there and rather surreal. That said it was probably the only place on network tv where I could on rare occasions hear Hungarian being spoken and understand it. For that alone it holds a special place for me. I was a child when it aired.

I have an acquaintance who travels with her husband and two “service dogs” although I never see her with them around town. And if she travels alone, no service dog as they get to stay home with hubby.

Who the heck uses a Belgian Malinois as a Service Dog? Maybe the Gestapo? LOL! They're NUTS to begin with!

One question.

Are the dogs wearing masks?

Why would ANYbody have a "Malligator" for a service dog?

They live to bite. They are smaller and more agile than German Shepherds, and much more aggressive.

You can’t expect a Malinois to be cooped up in a plane for hours. They’re too high energy. Lucky the entire cabin wasn’t laid waste.

No dog masks that I have seen, but a few sweaters & “cones of shame”.

Service dog my butt. Probably someone abusing this law so their poor little fluffy didn’t have to go to kennel.

Okay.

Let’s keep our eyes open in case of a future pandemic alert.

Costco has a sign up that basically indicates they will only allow legitimate service animals.

I saw a perfectly fine person with a dog in there today but I can’t judge because she could be epileptic and it is a seizure dog, etc.

“Anyone wager that it was not an “official” service animal.”

guaranteed it’s a fake ...

You’re probably right. Genuine Service Dogs are extremely well trained. I wouldn’t doubt if “service dog, emotional support animal” trainers have popped up all over the place, which cannot hold a candle to the genuine group. Of course, it’s possible the dog reacted to ear pain during the flight, which could put it off its game, but more likely it’s a poorly trained animal.

Same. I used to record the sound only on my reel-to-reel tape recorder.
