    I think deaf people should be allowed a “hearing ear dog” that can listen for traffic etc for you. And you can bring it anywhere.

      She had her hearing ear dog with her but just ignored its signal barks! That’s why the dog wasn’t kicked off the plane because those involved saw it was trying to do its job and didn’t deserve to miss its flight.

      Service dogs should be limited to people who really need them because they conflict with people who have dog allergies.

        That’s easy to solve. We just give them an allergy service dog that warns about potential allergens and chases them away if needed.

          Hypo is does not mean they don’t trigger allergies. Just less.

            Many of them already are used as service animals.

              Do you think people who don’t need them should be allowed hyperallergenic dogs in an airplane?
