Every year, the number of emotional support animals continues to increase. The main problem is that many airline passengers call their regular pets emotional support animals, just so they can take their pet with them. This is hurting people who are relying on legitimate service animals.

Founder of My Blind Spot Albert Rizzi says that people want to get the benefits of having a disability without actually losing their limbs. Last Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Transportation proposed that only service animals, specially trained dogs, will be allowed in the cabin at no charge. In a briefing with reporters, the transportation department said that these changes are intended to improve safety on flights – because some passengers have been bitten by fake support animals.
