BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2024 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — An American Airlines crew inexplicably permitted a dog that must be a “Bull “Shiatzu” on flight 2467 Saturday night from DFW to West Palm Beach Saturday, disregarding the airline’s own policies. The dog, wearing a “service dog” vest, was almost assuredly not a service dog. It’s unclear what function the rat-looking K9 would perform if its owner suffered a problem. It’s one of multiple nominations for our Boca Rudeton award for Sunday.
American Airlines requires onboard pets to be in a kennel the entire time they’re on a flight. They must be approved by the airline, and confirmed at the boarding gate. None of this appeared to have happened A legitimate service dog was on the plane. The seemingly fake service dog undermines the legitimacy of those who truly have a need and follow rules and restrictions.
Also up for Boca Rudeton consideration: a woman with a dog at Bowlero in Boca Raton. Food is served at the bowling alley, making this pooch a Florida law violator.
We also received photos of people with dogs at Publix — despite the company’s all-out ban on pets. It was not immediately clear why this woman wasn’t escorted from the South Florida Publix location.
Of all the images, however, only one can be our Boca Rudeton winner for Sunday. That winner is the dog on the American Airlines flight. If we gave prizes, the young woman with the dog with what seems to be a fake “service dog” vest gets it. An American Airlines coloring book, designed specially for kids who aren’t old enough to comprehend rules and regulations.
