You're just stupid. He clearly posted it was a service dog. Not like some random valley girl flying with her poodle.

How's your friend handling it?  I would imagine that if he needs the companionship of the dog he's either curled up in the fetal position or in jail.

If the dog is ok I'd say at least they found the animal semi quick.

Correct. It's not true. Commercial airliners have at least 2 cargo holds, at least one of which is heated/pressurized.

I guess if one needs a pet to be secure enough to travel, maybe it would be better to stay home.

This "service" dog stuff is getting over the top. Seems a lot of people are claiming to "need" a service dog that probably don't. I really think that if all of your physical body parts function, you do not need a dog.

The brain is a physical body part. Maybe, just maybe, one of the more important parts of the body. I dont have a service dog, and don't find that I need one, but for some, the crippling anxiety that accompanies crowds, precludes them from almost all daily social activity.

But sure, let's put all PTSD sufferers on house arrest, for the children...

Do you know what PTSD is? Serious question.

Its not just wanting to "feel better." I don't know if you've ever had intrusive thoughts, but depending on the severity, they can literally hijack your brain. The body's natural instinct is to suppress those memories or thoughts, in turn actually intensifying them. And that's only a single aspect of PTSD. If you want more info, there's plenty out there, just a google search away.

Count your lucky stars. Picking up the amputated limbs of a friend can profoundly alter a person.

A lot of interesting points being made here. The VA seems to have some interesting reading regarding dogs and PTSD. Here

Clinically, there is not enough research yet to know if dogs actually help treat PTSD and its symptoms.
View Quote


Dogs can help you deal with some parts of living with PTSD, but they are not a substitute for effective PTSD treatment.
View Quote


Becoming dependent on a dog can get in the way of the recovery process for PTSD.
View Quote


An emotional support animal is a pet that helps an owner with a mental health condition. Emotional support dogs help owners feel better by giving friendship and companionship. These dogs are also called comfort dogs or support dogs.
View Quote


An emotional support dog does not need special training. Generally, a regular pet can be an emotional support dog if a mental health provider writes a letter saying that the owner has a mental health condition or disability and needs the dog's help for his or her health or treatment.
View Quote


So yeah I'm sure this will all be rejected because it's the VA, or the .gov.

Anyway, two final thoughts:

1. Don't care what kind of dog it was, airline shouldn't have "lost" it. It's unacceptable for any company to accept responsibility for a living breathing animal and fail to take care of it as expected. Do it right, or don't do it at all.

2. I hope that vets dealing with PTSD aren't substituting dogs for actual treatment. I'm not saying anyone should make the choice for them, but I hope a man big enough to do the things he was asked to do is also big enough to admit that it might not be a good idea for him to rely on a dog to prevent or solve a problem.

Sure, I'll answer your question. In my opinion, its up to the patient's doctor to make that call. I'm not schooled enough to make those kinds of determininations and I highly doubt most legislators are either. But from your general "fuck em" attitude, it sounds like you'd feel better if they just made another law on the books that said people or establishments don't have to recognize handicaps. Looking at it that way, maybe you realize that this isn't a black and white issue, and that there's no way to quantify a person's reaction to traumatic stress. Two people exposed to the same event can have vastly different reactions.

Sorry you are getting upset.  I'm just trying to qualify what is acceptable.   I'm guessing by the tone of your post this is more about military service than pets in grocery stores to you.  This is where we part.  I mean no disrespect because this isn't about military service to me.  

I'm asking where it ends?  Just military and cops?  You really expect the airlines to let any animal fly with the passengers if a doctors signs a paper?

How about answering my question?  It isn't about PTSD.....it's about animals in grocery stores, on planes, and restaurants.  Where does it end? You know how people are, eventually everyone will have some security blanket that is protected.

You go invade Iraq, spend 15 months there, leave, and blow out your spine on a jump and then say that no one could be fucked up by it.   Some people handle it fine. Some don't.  An animal in a grocery store is not something that hurts anything except your tender little feelings.

That's up to the airlines. You somehow think it's your decision.

Call it what ever you want, but if you can't go into a grocery store, shopping mall or airplane without your pet, then stay in the fucking car.

Pets should stay at home.

Your opinion is worth a good bit less than you think it is. Especially since he had to pay an extra $175 to have the dog flown.


I would have cared more if you had said "my friend paid to have his PET shipped".


You're just stupid. He clearly posted it was a service dog. Not like some random valley girl flying with her poodle.

Woot my first ignore!!!


Eta hope your buddy gets his dog back soon. Poor pooch is probably scared out of his mind.

Serious question, how does a service dog help for someone with ptsd?

24/7 companionship. It's like having a best friend around at all times.

It's not up to the doctor. There's specific guidelines that a service dog must meet. Such as a seeing eye dog. This dog doesn't meet any of them. This is a "companion" animal.
Like it or not, that's the way it is.

I don't get it, almost a century of flying, how do they not have the process of matching cargo to flights at least somewhat figure out yet?

Millions of bags and packages make it somewhere on time everyday. I'd say overall they're doing pretty damn good.
