[nfb-db] Service Animal Delays Flight

[Darlene Laibl-Crowe via nfb-db]

Oh, Man!  Not sure what the whole story is…but I wonder if the ariways will use this as an example to deter service animal travel.  
 
It is the handler’s responsibility to be sure that the animal is properly busied.  Another thing, is that if you know you are going to travel then don’t feed the dog before leaving, wait till you reach your destination.   Or at least feed him/her several hours before leaving and making sure the busy business has been taken care of.  
 
And, always find out from the airlines where the relief area is so that it is tend care of before the flight.  Better to be safe than sorry.  The animals are like our children, we have to tend to their needs, it isn’t going to wait on us.  
 
I will read more as soon as I get a chance!
 
Thanks for sharing!

Hi Everyone,
I thought I share this news. Someone's service animal had pooped on U.S. Airways Flight from L.A. to Philadalphia. The Fight had to be diverted to Kansas City, because the dog had pooped twice in the middle of the aisle. Despite the crews efforts to clean up the first dog doo. The dog pooped again and the flight had to make an unscheduled landing in K.C. Get the full story here:
