Newsman......the complaint's in the AA section. I bet she flew NWA.
I don't know whether it being out of the kennel or not had any effect on your daughter's allergies. Even in the kennel, the dog is still on board.
That being said, the dog is required to stay in the kennel the entire trip, including in the airport which alot of people forget about. You should pursue this matter at the very least with the airline and probably with the DOT. They may be interested to know the flight attendants were playing with it and then serving food and beverages.
