They glanced at the person sitting next to them, hoping for a friendly face and maybe some small talk during the journey. However, to their surprise, a pit bull was nestled comfortably at the feet of the passenger beside them.
Instantly, a mix of emotions flooded the unimpressed Juanie. Fear, discomfort, and skepticism took hold as they contemplated the potential challenges of sharing their confined space with a canine companion.
Questions raced through her mind: What if the pit bull was aggressive? Would it be disruptive throughout the flight? Concerns about allergies and safety added to their unease.
I will continue to reiterate that the dog has been fine and non problematic. It isn’t the dog’s fault. Genuinely upset that this was allowed by @delta because as far as I’m concerned it theirs fault. Me and the woman on the aisle now have dog hair on us. It’s just too much. pic.twitter.com/YA8P22qrOD
