[nagdu] msnbc.com: Service dog turned away from local hotel

[Michael Hingson]

Hi,

If the law includes dogs in training then the hotel is indeed wrong.  I will
look into the wording on the law.  Including dogs in training is by no means
universal within state laws.

South West Airlines will not permit pets or dogs in training on its flights
even for a fee.  Although puppy raisers are angry over the South West policy
the airline is not required to permit these animals on flights especially
since it contends that transporting several animals in addition to those
permitted today might cause undue delay in boarding.  SW contends that it
has such a quick turn around that it has had to adopt the existing policy.
