Yup, yet another narcissist wanna be 'viral hero' wanting their 15 minutes of infamy for ego stroking.

Who will play her in the movie?

I would never put an animal in the baggage hold. Many times there are glitches with the cargo heat and the pet will die. Not worth the risk.

Some one who just wanted their 15 minutes of fame.

I'm starting to see the next media civil war. After the NFL thing dies down, it's going to be crazy women against service dogs. I'm calling it now!

They don't want anyone needing medical attention while in flight.

If she was deathly allergic to dogs, why would she even want to stay on board?

Seems she would ask to be rerouted on flights that did not have any dogs on board.

Also, if she was deathly allergic to dogs, what if she was sitting in a seat that had held a dog on a previous flight?

The hair, dander, and allergens would still be there.

This is just strange.

Anyone who insists on bringing an animal on a plane, other than a trained and certified service dog (no turkeys, pigs or cows) should ride in the cargo hold with said animal. There are cars, buses and trains (with baggage cars) available as an option. Leave the barnyard at home, along with the fake vests so many are buying these days.

Thank you.

I wonder how many posting the knee-jerk condemnation of this woman, while building the usual fortress around dogs and their owners, are aware of this story.

Man mauled by dog on Delta flight couldn't escape, says attorney

It happened....and it will happen again and again, as long as this lunacy of dogs in an airplane cabin is allowed.

I don't know the complaining woman....and don't necessarily attribute any more credibility to her allergy complaint than anyone else here. Her honesty/character is the minutia in this story and beside the point. But what this incident does once again call attention to is the sheer idiocy of allowing dogs on on airplane and allowing sociopathic dog owners to boot an objecting passenger from a flight. It is madness. Reflective of the madness of the times we live in today.

Mr. Jackson knows all too well that allergies are just one of multiple good reasons to keep dogs away from airplane cabins.
