Dog With Diarrhea Wreaks Havoc on Plane, Inspires Debate On Letting Animals into the Main Cabin

Taking an animal on a plane isn't easy. I know countless people who have opted instead to drive very long distances with their pet to avoid a) their pet's discomfort and possible death, and b) that hefty airline fee. Animals are cargo that is too precious for many people to take any risks with. The friends that do take their pets have had to pay exorbitant vet fees, had to drug their cats and dogs with Gabapentin, and sit in their seats hoping the critter doesn't make too much noise or use the bathroom out of fear or urgency. 

Most of the time, the animals I've encountered on planes are better behaved than the screaming babies. But every now and then, we suppose, things can go a bit…haywire. At least that's what we have gathered from this Twitter story from @micsolana. Apparently their boyfriend was on a flight to Miami when a bulldog next to him got diarrhea. The story, sadly, doesn't end there.

  • Turns out the dog escaped its owner's clutches after the diarrhea explosion and ran around the cabin in fear. It's sad that the dog was so terrified, but it's also sad that the plane's passengers had to endure the stench and stress.

    Font - Mike Solana @micsolana correction, the dog (window) was actually next to bf (middle). bf's bookbag now covered in poo Imao (sorry). journey began when the girl next to bf (aisle) thought dog was cute and wanted to hold him on her lap, at which point he exploded. 9:11 PM 9/11/22 · Twitter Web App ● 605 Retweets 92 Quote Tweets 30.2K Likes

    Font - Mike Solana @micsolana in the end, seats were lysol'd and scrubbed, 75 dollars in airline points were rewarded to direct hits, the lights were dimmed, and a very tired and ashamed lil pup watched tv for the rest of the trip. the plane safely landed. my bf is now home (he swears he can still smell poop) 11:07 PM - 9/11/22 Twitter for iPhone . 572 Retweets 64 Quote Tweets 39.3K Likes

  • The tragic tale caught the eyes of many Twitter users, who thought the thread might be a good place to debate whether or not we should be letting pets into the main cabin at all. The people seem divided.

    Product - $Daddy C4YPTO @C4YPTO Replying to @micsolana Is it an american thing to bring pets inside the cabin? Why isn't the animal separated from the rest of the passengers? What if someone doesn't want to sit next to an animal? 3:26 AM 9/12/22 Twitter for Android . ● 7 Retweets 6 Quote Tweets 894 Likes 27 KarenSmithMetalArtist @ksMe.... 1d Replying to @C4YPTO and @micsolana Yes, it's an American thing. And in America, pet owners don't care if you don't want to sit or eat or shop next to an ani

    Font - Ishae Roberta Adams @Ishae_Roberta Replying to @micsolana I find it interesting how people seem so angry about a dog on a plane having an accident when babies do far worse far more often through the sheer fact they are permitted to be everywhere. I personally find kids far more irritating and stressful, I feel bad for the owner and dog. 6:29 PM 9/12/22 Twitter for iPhone 24 Retweets 44 Quote Tweets 979 Likes

    Font - F Replying to @micsolana and @yashar I had a woman with 2 chihuahuas (out of their carry on kennel) fall asleep after takeoff. One dog barfed on the armrest between our seats, the other tried to drink my beverage, then bit me when I tried to move it. In First. There's no escaping the insanity. le cray @luvvielist 9:32 PM 9/11/22 Twitter for iPhone 57 Retweets 12 Quote Tweets 2,821 Likes

  • Ultimately, we'd rather chill with some dogs than crying babies, but to each their own.
