Is this the first airline to carry a service animal? Clearly it was possible to accommodate the man with his dog. The crew was not trained properly.

Vet With Service Animal Removed From Airplane







This sounds like a common sense approach to excessive demands by a man with a disability. Does this ever happen with black people who demand to be pampered by everyone because of their skin color? This incident shows that just because a person is a victim, it does not make him right in every case or dispute about his victimhood. Good for the airline personnel. As John Kerry might say, "Would that it were." with all victims being treated rationally.

This is an especially increasing problem while people without disabilities use patches on their pets in order to get into venues in New York City with special treatment, not unlike people without disabilities using special disability parking permits.
