The Americans with disabilities act only protects service dogs, which have to be individually trained to assist with an actual disability. All other "service" dogs can frick off. The vests and certificates bought online don't mean anything, only actual training and an actual disability.

I'm a dog guy, but I would have choked that fricking dog to death right there in the plane as the other passengers screamed and watched in horror if it had bit my face while I was sitting in a fricking seat on a plane.

Edited to add: if it were my dog I'd put him down. It'd suck, but it's too easy to get/train/have a dog that doesn't bite people on fricking planes.

Yes, I would have, with no hesitation. Not everyone is afraid to get their hands dirty from time to time when necessary.

Why not?

Self defense alone would lead my hands to the dogs throat. They would probably take the animal from me before it expired, but it would definitely be my natural reaction. Is allowing the dog to dine on your face a better option?

I know I would have tried. I'm so tired of people acting like their dogs are people. If a dog bit my face or the face of a loved one while on a flight, I would have punted that bitch into next week. I have no problem teaching an animal the rules of the world when they attack.

I don't doubt small dogs can cause harm. It's that people seem unable to stop it after the attack has begun.

If I get in an incident like that, I'm gouging, kicking.

Besides this one incident, which is obviously rare, why does it bother people having dogs on planes?

Again, I won't ever do it, we just board our pup in our city, but I see no real reason ever mentioned why people hate this, yet everyone always screams about the service dog thing being out of control.

Why does it bother people? I'm not trolling, genuinely curious.

Flew yesterday and there was a dog on the flight and it just chilled there, like they usually do. I'd rather 20 dogs instead of 1 screaming baby.

Wait why I am pompous?

The dog had just wrecked that dude's face and eyes and the owner was a combat veteran. Good luck "choking it out to death" when you have blood in your eyes and a military vet protecting it in between you.

That's all I'm saying, tough guy.

I just don't get how a dog that small can hurt someone like that. It weighed 50 fricking pounds. The average weight of a woman in 2010 is 166 pounds. Add in the adrenaline effect and people can be super strong. And there are multiple people there. Dog should have been ripped to shreds by the passengers before it did that to someone


This dog is also 50 lbs.

I love my dogs, they are part of my family. They are tremendously well trained and obedient. They are socially well adjusted and behave properly when out in public.

And i still don't take them everywhere i go, or to friends or families' houses. Why? Not everyone is as taken by them as I am. Not everyone is comfortable around dogs. Some people are actually frightened of strange dogs. I respect that and don't force people to interact with them.

I usually don't like being around dogs in public as most are poorly trained, if at all, and few owners actually can control their animals. Why should I have to sit next to some idiot's dog in the confines of a goddamn airplane which has ZERO obedience training and whose owner couldn't control or stop the dog if something happened?

So dogs make you nervous?

That's all you had to say. That's a fair reason.

Guessing it was a sudden, quick event, not rolling around in the aisle wrestling with the dog.

When mine was a puppy, I'd bring it everywhere. I wanted to socialize her to where no human behavior scared her. And as you know, fear is usually why dogs attack. Anywhere they were allowed, I brought her. And it worked incredibly well. But now that she's older, it's exactly as you say. People don't always want to be around dogs.

So quick to the "tough guy" insult. Don't project your unwillingness to deal with a dog biting your face onto me.

I'm sure I'll get bloody and scratched up, but I'm giving everything I have to choke the life out of that dog. The owner couldn't control a 50# lab, i doubt he'd do any better with me ramped up on anger and adrenaline.

I did that too.

My dog now likes people WAY more than other dogs, but at least he's not aggressive

I still bring him everywhere I can, like my neighborhood bar has a dog friendly patio and he comes and chills under the table while I drink beers with friends.
