Sounds interesting, but would like to find the background story.

Hi,
Last week, passengers on a US Airways flight rallied around a blind man and 
his service dog, who were kicked off the plane, and got the same treatment 
for their trouble.

After a long delay on a US Airways flight, Albert Rizzi’s yellow lab, Doxy, 
became restless being cramped under the seat in front of him. According to 
Rizzi and fellow passengers, a flight attendant insisted Doxy had to stay 
there or the plane would turn around. When Rizzi objected to the treatment 
of himself and Doxy, they were both kicked off the plane. But in an 
inspiring show of unity, his fellow passengers demanded Rizzi and Doxy be 
let back on.

Will you join me in signing the petition urging US Airways to treat all 
passengers with disabilities with respect?
