re: Liberal pinky said my dog looked dangerous and wanted us off of the plane.

Many years ago I was on a flight and I noticed the flight attendants were stopping and chatting with the woman in front of me much more than other passengers.

As we started the descent I felt a nudge on my foot, looked under the seat in front of me and there was a labrador. As we departed she said goodbye to the attendants and I noticed she was looking at them and walking with no trouble, obviously not blind (this was years before the comfort nonsense).

So I had to ask, she smiled before I finished and said, Im a trainer for seeing eye dogs. As a final exam we take them on a long trip in a crowded space, bus, subway, or plane. Young Duke here just finished his final exam with flying colors, he has a new owner who is anxiously awaiting the results, she has fallen in love with Duke, she will be very very happy.

She said look at him he knows he passed. Duke's tail was just a wagging, he had the expression of "how ya like me now". Very very nice.
