A man mauled by another passenger’s emotional support dog on a Delta Air Lines flight has sued the airline and the other passenger for negligence.
The lawsuit filed in Fulton County state court alleges Marlin Jackson was in a window seat when a dog sitting in the lap of the passenger next to him suddenly attacked his face and pinned him against the window of the plane.

My emotional support doggy is a Glock .......
Huh.
“dog is listed in the police report as a “chocolate lab pointer mix.”
Oddly enough, in the last few weeks, I’ve had several people relate their personal Lab attacks, to me.
“Ronald Kevin Mundy Jr. of Mills River, N.C., as a military service member with the U.S. Marine Corps who “advised that the dog was issued to him for support.”
It was a Lab mix.
“Heathen”?
Does your...”religion” consider dogs unclean?
I don’t understand why these fragile people can’t wait until the flight attendants start serving the emotional support drinks?
You’d be surprised how “fragile” you become when you’re a little kid molested for 5 years and your parents do nothing to their “favorite brother in law”.
If you’re that fu*ked in the head, then maybe you shouldn’t be on a plane with other people at 38000 feet. Talk to your shrink about other modes of transportation.
If I have not lived something personally, I’m generally polite enough to STFU about it because I don’t ~know~ what I’m talking about.
My dad, a Korean vet, never talked about his tour of duty.
All the photos he sent home were of himself, surrounded by smiling Korean kids, to whom he’d given all the candy his mother sent him weekly.
For years, I thought that was “what he did in the war”.
One of his brothers told me that in reality, he drove ordnance trucks to the front line.
My dad often lashed out irrationally at the smallest things.
He went to Korea a joking, funny, carefree guy and came home different.
Quiet and no longer carefree and often shockingly volatile.
He always said that you never know what the guy next to you has seen, and to take that into consideration, if they acted like jerks.
I assumed he was just dispensing Random Dad Wisdom...but now I think he was really talking about himself, in a roundabout way.
He saw things.
While I forgive your “f*cked in the head” rudeness, I’m guessing you have no daughters.
But if you do, I pray to God that what happened to me never happens to them because you’ll find out what “f*cked in the head” really is.
And I don’t fly, anyway.
Never have, never will.
I suppose I should be honored that I’m surrounded here by so many stone cold badasses who could acquire the emotional equivalent of a lifelong sucking chest wound and just laugh it off and crack open a beer.
You’re all my heroes.
Thanks. I did not know that.
It might keep a Muzzie from sitting next to you.

I would have killed the mutt and handed it back to the owner...
The combat Vets I knew who were in group therapy in 1989-90 all said the weekly war story therapy made them worse. Add
the antidepressants that the VA loaded Vets up on.
Actually, it keeps them FAR away from you, everywhere, especially if the dog is black.
The VN vets who have had us makes them trikes were always extremely grateful to have someone to talk to, that understood.
Maybe “group therapy” is much different than talking to one person who cares and gets it.
I have only been bitten once. It was a Lab, that ran out and got me on the hip as I was riding past on a bicycle.
Do you get blocked from a lot of sites for ad blocker?
if not, can you suggest one? thanks.
And not only do I excuse your bellicosity, I wouldn’t have it any other way on this board :)
We’ve been non bellicose for too long, our side!
I wonder if the support animal vests are available on Ebay?
Wimpy Freepers complaining about dogs again. Womp. Womp. Grow a spine. Or run and hide.
