Question:
How did you manage yo get Mac allowed in the passenger area? I’d love to take Sid with me on trips (going to france in Jan, you know how the French love dogs) but I can’t relegate him to the baggage compartment.
: When Mac and I fly tomorrow, he will probably enter the cockpit to : assist the crew. But he would never disturb the galley. He’s too picky : for airline food.

I can see it now. "Why yes, sir. This is my horse and he’s a service horse so he must ride up front — in first class — with me for the entire flight. He keeps me calm." Better yet, make that an elephant or Siberian Tiger or other LARGE exotic animal. Whoa. Holly K. www.geocities.com/maxwell_chester Before you buy.

But of course! (binking in surprise) Who else? I already know _I_ remember it. Funny thing on a cop show the other night. One detective tries to tell another about ‘Paladin’ – his favorite bounty hunter – the second one says, it was on when? I wasn’t even BORN then! I feel old today. Before you buy.

I’m sure it would have- since you’re a responsible-type pet owner, and pigs are quite intelligent. 
Didn’t mean it as "dogs are better than pigs" (though I think they *are* better suited to be pets)- the point was supposed to be that the puppies’ owners and I have *taught* them better behaviour from day one.

I couldn’t agree more. That animal was over 300 pounds. They LIED when reserving the seats, and it’s place, saying it was *13* pounds. They make it so much harder on everyone else who is truly in need. The animals FREAKED out upon landing, and messed up the terminal all over, as the disembarked. They were asked if they were going to clean it up, but they refused, and got on the elevator to get the pig out of there, ASAP. No clean up, no apologies. It took the two ppl with it, and a few crew members to get it off the plane. Now, I ask you, what kind of service was that, that the pig performed MB, who is also covered under the ADA, *along* with her hub, who is in a wheelchair, fercryinoutLOUD, and covered, also. I would NEVER dream, (well maybe with Rudy <G> [a JOKE!!!]) about LYING and saying one of my dogs, which are far better behaved than that pig, was a service animal. We get plenty of help from the crew on our flights, and wait our turn, getting on and off, with the wheelchair being gate checked. Which means we have to wait until the plane is just about empty until the chair is brought up. (And Rudy WOULD be a *huge* help, come to think of it, tho he isn’t registered, nor trained professionally to be a service dog, except by me…..so no flights for him.)

You probably aren’t old enough to remember "You Asked For It" on b&w TV. Guy from Oklahoma (I think) had a buffalo broke to ride, custom saddle, bridle, and all. He rode it through a store full of glass and crystal stuff. Said he’d broke just about every bone in his body breaking and training it, and never again. Did it once and once was enough. Before you buy.
Response:
I believe I read in one of the stories about this that the woman had a letter from her doctor asserting her medical need to have the pig with her. The letter did NOT indicate that said pig was this giant porker… Emily (not ~Emily) – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> Good news in the morning paper! > The FAA ruled that US Airways acted responsibly in allowing a woman >to fly 1st-class with her "therapeutic companion animal" to relieve >stress.

For that matter, the potbellied pig I used to have would have behaved better than that. Denna "Simple questions are for simple minds. Life is not two dimensional." -Loco

No doubt! I guess this will clear the way for anyone to claim their animal is "’service" animal….

Indeed is right. A "service" animal ought, at the very least, to be housebroken, and certainly ought to be better trained than to behave in the way this animal reportedly did. Hell, the seven-month-old puppies I walk would have behaved better than that!
Response:
Good news in the morning paper! The FAA ruled that US Airways acted responsibly in allowing a woman to fly 1st-class with her "therapeutic companion animal" to relieve stress. Her companion is a 300-pound potbellied pig who tried to enter the cockpit and refused to leave the galley until bribed with food. When Mac and I fly tomorrow, he will probably enter the cockpit to assist the crew. But he would never disturb the galley. He’s too picky for airline food.

Oh, this is ridiculous. I won’t even go into the animal’s being an oversized pig, but IMO, if the companion animal is not under suitable control, the ADA should NOT NOT NOT NOT cover it! It’s just going to make it ever harder for actual service animals to be taken seriously. *steam* –Cindy, who is covered under the ADA, thank you very much, and who would never DREAM of inflicting an untrained animal on the rest of the occupants in a plane…
