Southwest Airlines got concerned over an argument between passengers. One passenger claimed that two dogs on the same flight could worsen her allergies.

Not just Southwest, but including American Airlines and other airlines have experienced the rise of the “emotional support animals” accompanying their owners on the plane. While these animals provide comfort to individuals with disabilities, some passengers who don’t really have a problem take advantage of them.

There are no definite rules that govern assistance animals and this has led to an abuse. Various animals fly with passengers – examples are dogs, cats, monkeys, peacocks, and pigs. Airlines are hoping for the government to intervene and impose clear flight rules regarding emotional support animals.
