Absolutely not. Your dog doesn't count as a person, and indeed, shouldn't be sitting on the seat anyway. And wouldn't be, from your description.

I had made reservations for my husband, myself and Becky to ride Access Transportation home.  I told them this when I made the reservation; they knew it was three of us.  When the driver arrived, he had a passenger in the front seat and no one in the back seat.  We were ready to get in when he told us he could not take all three of us.  The rule, wich I support, is they cannot carry three persons in the back seat at the same time.  He told us he could not take all three of us in one trip because Becky was counted as a person.  When Becky and I traveel, she tucks in very neatly between my legs, or on the floor between my feet.  My husband was gracious about the situation (I was not so gracious) and Becky and I ended up riding and my husband had to take the bus (a 2 1/2 hour trip).  Is this the way it is supposed to be?  I called and complained because, if that is the rule, they should have sent an empty car so they could honor my reservation.  Please, give me your thoughts on this. I do not understand.  Thanks, and have a good thanksgiving.
