A passenger on a United Airlines flight was left without a seat when a massive service dog took over their assigned spot. Flight attendants did little to help, leaving the passenger to eventually find a different seat in the back of the plane.
Travel ing by plane can be full of surprises, but finding a dog stretched out in your seat is next-level comedy. One passenger had to move from their assigned seat on a flight so a giant service dog could sit comfortably in their place. The passenger tried to get the flight attendants to help with the situation, but they wouldn’t do anything about it, so the passenger was left without a seat.
But, as they approached their seats, they realized that the spot had already been claimed, not by a fellow passenger, but by a colossal service dog. And no, it was not curled up neatly on the floor. This furry giant fully occupied the OP’s seat, with its tail probably wagging at the absurdity of it all. Our unlucky Redditor tried reasoning with the dog’s owner and flagged down a flight attendant, hoping for a quick resolution. Instead, they got a shrug. Yes, a shrug. The kind that says, “Not my circus, not my monkeys,” or, in this case, oversized. The situation escalated when it became clear that the flight was completely full, leaving the OP convinced they’d be grounded in favor of a canine. And, after what must have been an awkward standoff, a United Airlines staff member boarded to assess the situation. But guess what? The dog stayed put. The dog owner? Presumably unfazed. The passenger? Probably wondering when airlines started prioritizing paws over people. I don’t know about you, but I’d be pretty irritated at this point. The passenger eventually found an empty seat in the back of the plane, but the whole ordeal left them wondering about the lack of clarity surrounding service animals on flights. While airlines are obligated to accommodate legitimate service animals, the policy regarding their seating isn't explicitly defined. This leaves room for interpretation and, apparently, for giant dogs to take over seats meant for humans
