I'm not the parent, and I'm guilty of being exasperated at people calling their purse dogs "support animals" to get them on planes, BUT...
1) The obvious answer to your first questions: lots of people do work from home, and/or work in dog-friendly locations. Also, lots of people take their dog with them on all car trips including local errands.
2) Re: "can't function for a few hours without your two dogs" -- the FLIGHT is a few hours but unless the dogs are beaming there via transporter, they still need the dogs at the destination!
- detaro 7y agoRe 2, most airlines are completely fine with transporting your dogs, service animal or not. In a crate.
- cm2012 7y agoIf you can afford a seat for them, it's a way better experience for the dog in coach
- humanrebar 7y agoNot all are competent enough to get them there alive.
- jessaustin 7y agoThis sort of comment does no favors to the people who rely on ESAs. Of course every airline is completely competent at the mundane task of keeping living things alive. In fact air travel is safer than certain other forms of travel.
