'You better put the dog back in the carrier': Naïve woman takes her dog out on a plane, a 35-year-old male passenger warns that is she doesn't put it back, he is going to make her regret it

Having some plane etiquette, even in normal situations, seems to be a big ask for some people. Having plane etiquette with pets involved… even worse. Seriously, if you think "what could be so difficult about that?" then you don't know the half of it. We have seen the most ridiculous stories about animals on planes. We have seen everything from passengers attending flights with fake service dogs, to passengers being forced to change seats on a plane because of giant cats requiring the highest levels of comfort, all the way to one passenger trying to bring an emotional support lynx on a plane.

So, okay, pet owners are not always the greatest passengers, but that doesn't mean that they have to be treated badly. Sometimes, innocent mistakes are made. That seems to be the case here. This woman took her small dog out of its crate, wanting to hold it on her lap so that it is more comfortable, and instead of simply talking to a flight attendant, this man started to make threats.

Fluff. Chaos. Drama! Our weekly cat newsletter has it all - subscribe here.

Our verdict: everyone is wrong in this situation. No, this woman should not have taken out her dog on the plane. But also no, this man should not have spoken to her the way that he did. Threatening anyone, especially on a plane, especially over something relatively small, is unacceptable.

Good. Everyone in the comments agrees with our verdict. There is a proper and improper way to go about things when you are in a public place and disagree with someone, and this was one hundred percent not the right way.
