Sorry.

The emotional-support animal gig has turned into quite the scam-a-thon.

Aside from the just plain good old kooks and attention seekers, many folks use the practice of saying they need an emotional support animal to avoid leaving their pets home alone, not wanting to hire dog-walkers (in cases of dogs), or to avoid having their pet ride in the cargo hold. Since you cannot ask about a person’s disability, they make up disorders (most creatively and proud of it) to get past the skeptics. Many get away with this and even provide bogus diagnosis letters they print up themselves. Of course, you can always consult on-line or via telephone with registered therapists for emotional support animals and receive a letter of confirmation via mail for around $140.00 Check it out on the good old internet. Done all the time.

And remember this: One person’s emotional support animal can be another person’s emotional trauma triggering event. Checkmate!
It works both ways folks. ;)

The point was just that pit bulls aren't the only breed. Otherwise, I think we agree. I wouldn't in a million years walk up to a pit bull and pet it like I would a basset hound.

Hahah. I've allowed a j/s pilot to bring a 6 week old puppy once on a 50 minute flight. Made his night. He had been trying to get a seat for six hours.

Must be hell around traveling around Thanksgiving!

Think of the trauma to both the owner and to the Turkey!:eek:

Depends on if it looks like a pit bull or a lab...

So the Captain and his F/O are walking back to the hotel after happy hour when they see a dog on the sidewalk licking his balls. The Captains says, "Man, I wish I could do that!"

The F/O says, "That dog'll bite you...!":eek::D

I thought that was mandatory. How else can you do a CAT I approach?
