Passenger's Loving Gesture Toward Service Dog on Flight Has People So Moved

Oh our hearts!

Flying in an airplane can be a stressful situation, especially with a dog accompanying you. Between getting to the airport on time, getting through security, finding your seats and taking off, this whole ordeal can be exhausting. Especially if you are seated next to someone who seems less-than-friendly. 

Well, the service dog that belongs to TikTok user @Munchiethelizardkingdidn't have to worry about the last part, because their seat mate was an angel on earth. Watch the following video to see what we mean. 

Now this is the sort of passengers we would love to be seated next to. Either this adorable service dog or this kind lady who is obviously an animal lover! She even shared her pillow with Munchie! TikTok users are totally charmed by this and @Mika comments, "That lady automatically gets a spot in Heaven just for this." True, all dogs, and dog lovers, go to heaven! @Ashley adds, "I’d honestly pay extra for this on flights." @Gina replies, "Best way to fly. I'd take this all day everyday." 

If you are planning to travel with your dog, it's always a good idea to review the airline's policies regarding traveling with a service dog. Each airline may have specific requirements and documentation that you need to provide, such as health certificates, vaccination records, or service dog identification. Arrive at the airport extra early to allow time for security procedures and any additional documentation checks, to walk and take your dog for a bathroom break, and to provide them with a drink or snack before boarding. Always use a secure leash and harness, and  most importantly, familiarize yourself with the laws and regulations related to service dogs and air travel. The Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA) protects the rights of individuals with disabilities traveling with service animals.

Then all you have to do is keep your fingers crossed that you and your pup are seated next to a person as wonderful as this one!
