Hey Ya'll! Usually I try to get these to you ad-free the night before, but I just finished it this morning and I decided I'd rather try to get it out this week than wait. So it's ad-free for the next few hours at least :) Thanks for your understanding as I slowly try to get back into it <3
While flying back to Connecticut, my dad—who is blind and uses a guide dog—experienced a terrifying series of events when another dog, labeled as a service dog, repeatedly lunged and growled at his guide dog while boarding the plane. Shockingly, this happened three times, and the airline still allowed the aggressing dog to fly.
In this video, I break down:
What happened on that flight
The Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA) and how the airline may have failed to follow it
The unique considerations for guide dog teams in public access situations
Why temperament and preparation are non-negotiable for service dogs flying
What may have been going on with the other dog and handler—and how you can avoid the same mistakes
Whether you’re a service dog handler, trainer, or simply an ally to the disability community, this video offers important insights on safety, responsibility, and access rights.
