A woman named Juanie had an interesting experience on a recent Delta Air Lines flight. She boarded and found a 50-pound dog in her seat. The dog’s owner asked if she would mind giving up her seat for the pitbull and was agitated after she refused. She Tweeted the experience in a series of posts on Sunday.
So…I’m next to a yt girl who just asked if I would give up my seat for her pitbull. When I got to my seat she had the pitbull in my seat. And now she’s acting like I’m unreasonable. All for emotional support animals. In your fricken seat.

This flight is four hours and some change and the dog is now restless. I am just..I’m back to being upset.

I’m not sure how the passenger was able to board with this dog as it’s too large to fit under a seat and doesn’t appear to be designated as a service animal.
I will continue to reiterate that the dog has been fine and non problematic. It isn’t the dog’s fault. Genuinely upset that this was allowed by @delta because as far as I’m concerned it theirs fault. Me and the woman on the aisle now have dog hair on us. It’s just too much. pic.twitter.com/YA8P22qrOD

The dog has now blemished my purse and stepped on the aisle seat woman’s purse as well. She’s asking the dog if he wants his ass whipped. pic.twitter.com/OerUpr67mT

And to top it all off, she hit her banned vape on the plane. 🙂 @Delta

The dog behaved (although it did cause some damage to Juanie’s purse by stepping on it), but its owner thought it was okay for her to vape in flight (which, like smoking cigarettes, is against federal law). The dog owner was rude on several fronts. She should have purchased a second seat for her dog and should not have been vaping in flight.
Anthony’s Take: Just like passengers of size taking up more than their purchased space, this woman should have thought about her fellow travelers and not just assumed others would be okay with her dog taking up their space.

If the dog took her seat, where exactly was she supposed to sit? An impressive screwup by Delta to allow the dog on the plane in these circumstances.
