A passenger expressed frustration after encountering a “service dog” that freely roamed around a crowded airplane. The 35-year-old traveler, who isn’t fond of dogs, found himself on a two-hour flight where a 20lbs dog sought attention by jumping on him.
Growing annoyed, he approached the flight attendants and requested that they ensure the dog remained with its owner, preventing it from “bothering” other passengers. However, his request was declined. He took to Reddit to voice his displeasure, stating, “I dislike this trend of people bringing dogs on flights. I can’t understand why they can’t leave them at home.”
He described the situation, saying, “We took off, and once we reached cruising altitude, a dog, roughly 20lbs, started wandering down the aisle on its own. It freely roamed around, and passengers along the aisle were petting it. It approached people, and to my observation, interacted positively with them. Concerned, I got up, found a flight attendant, and inquired about the dog.”
