Unleashed Dog Roams Free On American Airlines Flight To L.A., Leaves Unwanted Surprise In Aisle
A dog roamed around the cabin on Tuesday evening’s American Airlines flight 2308 from Raleigh to Los Angeles. It must have been uncomfortable because it needed to do its business, so the passenger who owned it let it out – until it decided to relieve itself in the aisle.
The dog boarded in a carrier so appears not to have been a service animal. As a result, they’re supposed to remain in the carrier, underneath the seat in front of their owner, and not come out for the duration of the flight. Crew seemingly did not enforce this.
@AmericanAir come on … how & why is it okay for a dog to roam around on a flight.. #highlyallergic #dogownersdobetter #customerservice #aa2308 #13a does the dog belong to anyone? pic.twitter.com/QLtWCFAgoU

Lady in seat 8c is taking pictures with flashes and upsetting your flight attendants… I feel for her having a bottle of water dumped on her and then now dog poop

This comes after a United flight diverted this month after a dog pooped in the aisle in front of the first class lavatory.

Recently it’s been passengers not dogs making a mess of the aisles.
Had the worst experience on my recent birthday trip with @AmericanAir Someone had a poop accident in the aisle right next to me & they are refusing to compensate ! Talk about a crappy way to celebrate! #AmericanAirlines #BirthdayBlues #customerservicefail pic.twitter.com/f9hnyPSsLc

It really seems like the dog’s owner should be liable to the airline for extra costs – and to the rest of the passengers because, well, that’s a really thing to impose on others trapped inside a metal tube next to you.
