Delta Airlines - no more comfort turkeys, gliding possums known as sugar gliders, snakes, spiders

47. The thing is that while some of these people may be taking advantage

of the idea of 'therapy pets', there is a real need for others for their service animals and it may not be apparent to you. Some service animals are able to alert their human about oncoming seizures or other medical problems, for example. I happen to know a woman who has a dog for that very purpose, and she often keeps the dog in a stroller (that is, on the days when she is able to walk - she is often in a motorized wheelchair and the dog has a space near her feet). But when the woman is mobile and the dog is in the stroller, your reaction is unfair.

I guess I'm just trying to say it is dangerous to assume things about most people. It's like complaining about someone with a handicapped parking tag who doesn't 'look' handicapped. Unless you are that person's doctor, you have no idea what their disabilities or needs may be.

As for people being assholes, well, I'm not gonna go there.
