If people don’t stop with the fake ESA’s, eventually, all ESA‘s (even real ones) will be banned on all flights. Maybe they should be?

Just saw a "Service Dog" flying from Spokane to DFW.... Barking at other dogs, controlled by a prong collar. Another "Service Dog" was on the same plane, barking right back at him. Both pulling on their leashes, both barking, both CLEARLY not trained Service Dogs. Later on I see the same dog on the prong collar, trotting down the hall with the owner at DFW, still barking at other dogs and pulling on the leash.

Real Service Dogs get attacked by fake service dogs all the time and literally tens of thousands of dollars worth of training goes out the window, and a disabled person often loses the equivalent of a limb when their service dog can no longer function as intended due to the thoughtless of others.

If you do not have a disability, if the dog is not trained to serve your disability (which also includes extensive training for certain behavior in public situations), and/or if the dog is not yours, it doesn't get to fly in cabin as a Service Dog. Emotional support pets do not count, nor do they get the accommodations of a true Service Dog.

STOP IT.

It's not fair, and its selfish. Put the dog in cargo, or if it can't fly cargo (like the Pit I just saw), hire a ground transporter. But for the sake of those who actually have real Service Dogs, follow the dang rules!!!

I had no idea that there were dogs on board too. So sad.

The RMS Titanic not only carried human passengers, but also had twelve dogs on board. Among them were various breeds, including a French Bulldog, a Pekingese, a Fox Terrier, two Pomeranians and a Great Dane. These dogs were a symbol of the wealth and status of some of the passengers, but their fate on this fateful journey was as tragic as that of the ship.

When the Titanic sank, the chaos on board led to difficult decisions. Of the twelve dogs, only three survived: one Pekingese and two Pomeranians. These smaller breeds were easier to hide and were probably smuggled onto the lifeboats, giving them a rare chance of survival.

One of the tragic stories of that night is that of Elizabeth Isham, a 50-year-old passenger whose devotion to her Great Dane was exemplary. When the Titanic sank, Isham was told that her Great Dane was too big to be placed on a lifeboat. Faced with this heartbreaking decision, she decided to stay with her dog instead of leaving him behind.

Days after the sinking of the Titanic, Elizabeth Isham's body was found, still clinging to her beloved Great Dane.
