Should we not bring our dogs anywhere in public then? The onus is on the owner to control their animal in public or else they'd get fined or whatever. Air travel should be no different than a park.

I love dogs; have one myself. But there are lots of shitty owners out there that let their dogs run amok. On the ground that's merely annoying, but in the air it can be far more serious.

The problem is that an airplane cabin is a confined space and if there is a behavioral issue, nothing can be done about it until the plane is landed somewhere.

Unfortunately, most do not. And then they just go "oh, she's friendly, don't worry", when their dog jumps up into some 3-year-old's face and scares the crap out of them...
