On 8-12, I was on a Frontier flight from Milwaukee to KC. I paid extra for a front seat. When I got on the plane, my seat had a large (I estimate around a 70 lb dog) in front of my seat and the owner of the dog's seat. Yes, he/she was that big. The stewardess told me to take another seat. Yes, I lost my seat to a dog. After about 5 minutes into take off, the unleashed dog became upset and headed towards the **** pit. The stewardess had to grab the dog from her seat in front of the cockpit. After the plane leveled off, he/she walked back to its owner. Within another few minutes, the stewardess began handing out freshly baked cookies. I presumed that she washed her hands.
While on the plane, the owner talked about her new 10 jet whirlpool bath and fenced in back yard. Thus, not hurting for money. Oh yes, she was not blind and walked off the plane. I was told by Frontier airlines customer service person that a person can bring a dog on a plane as a service dog. I explained that this was not the case. She also said that a person can bring a dog on a plane for 'emotional' reasons. I personally felt unsafe on this flight, had to give up my seat (I also have rights), and was subjected to some unpleasant smells (trying to be nice here). I like dogs and am very sympathetic to people with handicaps. However, this was not the situation. This entire situation was a joke and I will continue to seek answers. With all the safety precautions, how can a large dog be allowed to roam an airplane without a leash? Also, in no way could this owner control this dog. No way. Those 50-60 other passengers also have rights and should not be subjected to this type of situation, no way!
