A viral Instagram video showed the huge Great Dane boarding the plane, stepping on a flight attendant’s foot.
The airline worker winced while the owner quickly apologised.
Controversial passenger
“Have we taken this support animal thing too far?” asked content creator Rob, who shared the footage.
Many agreed. “Emotional support for one, emotional distress for hundreds!” one person wrote. Another added: “I love dogs, but this is ridiculous.”
Some argued a dog of this size could pose safety risks. “What if someone has allergies? Where does the dog even sit?” one asked.
Emotional support pets
However, others defended the pet. “I’d take this over screaming kids any day,” one commenter said.
The debate highlights ongoing discussions around emotional support animals on flights, with many calling for clearer regulations.
