Look the other way.<\/p>\n

While most plane passengers usually get pissed off at snoring seatmates and crying babies, on one particular flight, flyers had a totally different bone to pick, having to do with a little pooch.<\/p>\n

In a short clip shared on X (formerly Twitter), a small dog is comfortably sitting on its owner\u2019s tray table facing the window, and people are losing their minds over it. <\/p>\n

It could be argued that some parents plop their little tots on those same tray tables, but something about a dog\u2019s bum perched on there really pissed many off.<\/p>\n

X user @TheEXECUTlONER_ was one of these outraged people who wrote above the 7-second clip, \u201c\u2026You know I love dogs but this [is] totally unacceptable. Dogs are supposed to remain in their carrier the entire flight\u2026.That\u2019s just wrong. Disgusting. Don\u2019t forget to bring wipes with you and clean off your tray tables.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat would you have done? Would you have said something directly to the dog owner or would you have let the airline attendants handle it?\u201d the annoyed caption continued. <\/p>\n

The user isn\u2019t wrong.<\/p>\n

The general rule for most airlines when flying with fur babies is that small dogs should be tucked under the seat in front of its ownder in a portable crate while larger dogs are required to travel in a temperature-controlled cargo hold.<\/p>\n

The only exception to this rule, of course, is trained service dogs who are allowed to sit on their human\u2019s lap or on the floor.<\/p>\n

The tricky thing about this very unsanitary situation is that the dog didn\u2019t seem to be wearing a harness or vest indicating that it\u2019s a service dog \u2014 so how did the nervy owner get away with this?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unknown how the flight attendants handled the eye-rolling situation, but unsurprisingly, many in the post\u2019s comment section had a lot to say about it.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cPeople are unbelievable,\u201d one wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cLove dogs, but a tray table isn\u2019t a dog bed. Airline rules exist for a reason \u2014 let the flight crew handle it,\u201d a comment read.<\/p>\n

\u201cYuck. In the defense of the dog, it\u2019s apparent its owner has no lap for the dog to even sit on her lap,\u201d someone else chimed in.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe it\u2019s just me, but I thought the plane was cleaned after every flight??\u201d a commenter questioned.<\/p>\n
