A bomb-sniffing military dog that has served two tours in Afghanistan was refused passage on a U.S. commercial flight to the Democratic National Convention last week by a pilot who was concerned the K-9 could be aggressive.
The 6-year-old German shepherd named Kevin was prevented from boarding a US Airways flight from Phoenix, Ariz., to Charlotte, N.C., on Sept. 1. The dog has flown on other commercial flights previously, usually sitting on the floor at the row of seats next to the bulkhead of the passenger cabin with his Navy handler.
really? Come on. Get Serious! If this dog was being escorted by his handler there is no excuse for not allowing him to fly.
This is disgusting these dogs deserve to be treated with the upmost respect just like any other solider these animals have saved thousands of lives and come back to be treated like this disguting
