She said my dog looked “dangerous.” She asked why a German Shepherd like this was even allowed on a plane.

Ma’am, let me introduce you to Duke. That “threatening” animal spent six years deployed with Marine Special Operations. He’s a certified Multi-Purpose Canine. While most people run away from danger, Duke runs toward it.

His resume:

Tracking high-value targets.

Detecting explosives before they turn into funerals.

Shot twice in the line of duty.

That scar on his shoulder? Shrapnel from an IED in Helmand Province. Despite being wounded and bleeding, Duke located four more devices in that same area to keep his team safe.

The limp you’re staring at? He took multiple rounds during an ambush to save his handler. Because of him, a 22-year-old Marine got to go home to his daughter.

Duke has a Navy Commendation Medal. He has a Purple Heart. He is credited with saving over 40 American lives.

And the most important stat? Zero bite incidents. The only thing Duke has ever snapped at were threats trying to harm our troops.

So no, I won’t be moving seats. But you are more than welcome to lean over and thank him for his service.

The correct response is "frick off you stupid bitch." Then laugh at her/it/zir.

I believe one of his commands is "stupid bitch" while another is "frick off". He probably did not want to confuse the canine "soldier".

Duke, I would be honored to meet you, shake your paw, pat you on the head and give you a great big hug. You sir Duke, are a true American hero...THANK YOU for your service!

Oh, and mam, the one that asked why a German Shepherd was allowed on a plane............KIBHA.

Give me all your downvotes but dogs dont belong in the cabin of a plane. Dont care if it fits in some small bag.

I get you, but the dogs that fit in a bag are the worst trained and most shitty dogs of all. I'd prefer a large dog in it's own seat than a bunch of ... women with emotional support midget dogs that have never been disciplined that have tiny bladders.

Working dogs go wherever they want, whenever their handler wants them to. Best trained dogs on Earth. Compare this dog to the Southwest Jetway Jesus crew, or anyone on Spirit airlines, or flying through Miami on American. The dog is far superior.

I get it. Still doesn't change the fact that i prefer most dogs over 20 lbs to most humans that I fly with.

Guaranteed that dog is cleaner and more disciplined than 99% of air travelers today. I'd be proud to share a row with him.

i'd rather sit by a dog than a person on every flight
but i get it, some people are freaked out by dogs
i can't believe they let cats in the cabin either - some folks are very allergic
in the end one dog goes one way, the other dog goes the other and then this guy's saying "whaddya want from me?

Allergy wusses are probably the worst. Dander isn't all that different between cats and dogs, and there's plenty of it, everywhere. How many people are freaked out by a black guy wearing a hoodie and a mask? Dogs that can get through TSA with less vocalization than certain populations are far superior.

I'd just be disappointed I didn't bring Pupperoni for the flight.

Realistically, I'd probably end up eating it anyway. Best case is to just bring pepperoni and opportunistically feed it to dogs while petting the shite out of them. Downsides: ?

While I would normally agree, war hero dogs are an exception.
