He lost 4 dogs at the airport!

I have three dogs, and even if I was Uber wealthy I wouldn’t travel with them for this reason. It’s incredibly stressful for the dogs. Also, they have specific fasteners for dogs you can put AirTags on their collars now.

Does he really have four dogs or his he pulling a Brittany?

This proves that emotional support animals for people with "psychiatric disability through companionship” is a real thing. He needed all his dogs to travel.

I know this has been all over the public freakout websites and ebaums and such, but the guy didn't have these dogs as emotional support animals. He may have been moving from one country to another. It sounds like the airline at first wouldn't let him confirm the dogs were okay while they were on a layover and switching from one plane to another. Someone contacted the airline and they responded that the passenger was allowed to see his dogs and everything was fine. Hopefully, that was true.

Thanks for the further details, R34.

It can be terrifying to fly with a dog or dogs, especially one country to another. The airline tells you one set of details but then each individual you speak with tells you something very different. The cargo freight department handles this. No, it's the luggage department. No, it's passenger services. No, it's the animal agent at reservations, at the terminal, the customs office, the... You never get an authoritative answer that isn't in conflict with the last information you received.

You have a 4-hour layover and you have to talk to 10ndiffwrentnpeopke before one knows to who to call who very kindly brings your dog to take out for a piss and to spend some time reassuring him before being him back for the next flight.

They tell you your dog can be collected at the luggage desk, but no, it's at another location, and someone has to be called to walk you there.

If it were even a little bit simple, I might have had a more international dog because he stood up very well to the flying part, even when a shipping container was all destroyed on a flight, but the horrible thing is never knowing with any certainty where you dog is or where you should be to collect him.

How horrible for the man in the video.

That would scare me. However, I don't resort to SCREAMING like a lunatic - what was that about?

I agree, R6. He behaved like a childish idiot. It was all very performative, especially approaching travelers who have nothing to do with situation and can't do anything. People who think their pets are the center of everyone's universe are the worst.

Next time put a tracker on them and go up to a airline agent at the airport and solve the situation.

We were completely embarrassed!

- The Dogs

I've travelled with our chihuahua. He's remarkably calm on the flight but when someone knocks on the door he'll go insane.

“IF THEY DON’T LISTEN, I’M HITTING THE FLOOR!”

Don't some airlines let you have pets with you in the cabin when you travel? Or did that stop when allergies became more of a factor?
