Love it.

I presume (hope) the dog is a Photoshop image, as having a loose animal in the passenger compartment could hardly be described as safe. Especially a brute that size! If that is really the airline’s approach to safety, I can understand why the passengers aren’t too bothered – they are resigned to their fate!

Looks like the dog has a harness.

Traveling with a Service Dog, a Complete Step-By-Step Guide

The Department of Homeland Security’s Transportation Security Administration has universal guidelines for traveling with a service dog or assistance animal.

Airlines do require some form of assurance that your dog is indeed a Service Animal and not a pet. Identification, such as cards or documentation, the presence of a harness or markings on the harness, a doctor’s letter or other credible assurance of the passenger using the animal for their disability is required.

Although some people strongly objet to service dogs anywhere near them.

Oh no, you’re saying it’s for real?

Whilst I have every sympathy for blind people (if that’s what this is about) I also cannot help but feel for the other passengers who are compelled to share a confined space with a whopping great mutt – woof woof! I mean…stinkorama dude! : And if that varmint freaks, I very much doubt that its owner would be able to restrain it.

There was I thinking that all animals had to travel in cages in a pressurised hold. Yet another good reason to avoid air travel at all costs.

One thing for sure, if you have a service, or any other, animal and you need to fly - You aren't going to trust it to United Airlines in the baggage area.

United Airlines accounted for a third of animal deaths on U.S. flights in last 5 years

In a statement, United said it was saddened by news of the death of Simon, a 3-foot Continental Giant rabbit, on the flight to Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport.

Ain’t that the truth; I wouldn’t even trust them with my luggage!

Sinkrate, I'm just curious here but by your comments you lead me to suspect you're afraid of dogs. Is that true? Service dogs aren't your every day mutt next door. They are trained animals which are extensively screened prior to being put in service. I've seen them in shopping malls and amusement parks with tons of people around and little kids whining and running around and in my personal experience I've never seen a single service dog forget it's duty or get out of line.

To be truthful I'd rather have that brute sit next to me than any of the 275 - 300 pound passengers or crying babies I've had to endure over the years.

With you regarding the babies – yuck!

It’s not that I’m afraid of dogs, but having been in a confined space with them I can tell you from first hand experience THEY STINK! They pant though their mouths continuously, and a large dog will soon fill the air with fetid dog breath. If it busts loose at the other end, you’d better be somewhere else man. I was once in a supermarket when a large Labrador guide dog let one go and you could smell it all over the store. It even outstank the hapless varmint that they were cremating in the cafeteria! I’ve got nothing against dogs or any other animals, but they are ANIMALS and as such, their behaviour is not always predictable. I also agree with you that some humans are just as bad.
