The lawsuit lists two other defendants: the dog’s owner, Michelle Brannan, and Alaska Airlines. The suit claims Brannan should have known that her dog had “vicious propensities.” The suit says the airline is at fault for allegedly allowing Brannan to bring a dangerous dog into the gate waiting area, where the attack happened, when the dog wasn’t a trained service animal and wasn’t properly confined.
And:
With Brannan’s consent, Gabriella began petting the dog, Stavley said. It then bit her -- puncturing her eyelid, severing her tear duct, lacerating her face and tearing her lip, Stavley said. The girl underwent surgery and has visible scars today, he said.
And of course, nobody ever suspected the dog was capable of such an attack.

This is more about the bullshit scam of service and therapy animals. Airlines are finally calling bullshit on it
Airlines should have called bullshit before it even started. I remember laughing the first time I read about this a few years ago. I knew it had be some joke article someone was publishing. You just know all this probably got started in Cali.

The Canadian province of Ontario banned all Pitbulls back in 2005.
Can't recall the last time I saw one.
The problem isn't even the dogs. It's the idiots at the airlines that were convinced that "support animals" was a good idea. Hell, bring a rattlesnake. Totally lunacy. If you can't travel outside your home without a support animal, it's probably a good idea to never leave it.

Are wives considered "support animals"?
Asking for a friend.
