Flight passenger says dog barked 'nonstop' during 8-hour flight, sparking debate among travelers

  • A passenger on a flight from Paris to Newark shared a story on the r/unitedairlines forum on Reddit about a disruptive experience caused by a barking dog.
  • The incident began when the passenger noticed a mid-sized dog, later identified as being too large for its carrier, misbehaving at the airport before being allowed to board the flight.
  • Approximately an hour into the flight, the dog's incessant barking woke up other passengers, prompting flight attendants to encourage the owner to move to the back of the plane in an attempt to calm the animal, though the dog continued to bark and scramble within its carrier, even causing the bag to flip over.
  • The passenger reported that a flight attendant told the dog's owner that the dog was too big for the carrier, but the owner dismissed this concern by responding, "no he's not."
  • The incident sparked debate among Reddit users, with some questioning how the dog was allowed to board in the first place and others suggesting the situation should have been addressed before takeoff, with some users expressing outrage and calling for the incident to be reported as animal cruelty upon landing, and some users suggesting that dogs should not be allowed on planes.
