YOUR DOG IS NOT A PASSENGER. PERIOD.























LEAVE FIFI AT HOME, PEOPLE.

There's been some buzz in the industry over the last few weeks about allowing small dogs to accompany passengers in the cabin on flights. Bad idea. The last thing I want to hear on a five hour flight is Fifi yapping incessantly. For heaven's sake, leave your glorified rodents at home, people.

I once saw a baggage handler soccer-style kick a little pink carrier containing a Bichon Frisé over a parked 757 at Logan Field in Boston. The dog had been barking non-stop at him for 45 minutes and the baggage handler just snapped. He placed the carrier on the tarmac and took four steps back, and two steps to the left and then Jan Steneruded that carrier with his right foot, fully extending his leg above his head, holding the follow-through until the yapping dog disappeared from sight.

GOD bless you-
