To ask what "emotional support animal" you would choose to bring on a plane (if allowed)

[BigChocFrenzy]

I hadn't realised it was a possibility - and I find flights boring, not scary
I might choose a 🐒 for entertainment though

How about you ? .... 🐸 🦆 🦉 🦇 🐢 🦔 ?

US woman removed from plane after boarding with 'emotional support' squirrel

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/oct/10/us-woman-flight-plane-emotional-support-squirrel

Frontier Airlines ... said the passenger had noted in her reservation that she was bringing an emotional support animal – but she did not indicate it was a squirrel.
...
The incident followed others where an “emotional support peacock”, Dexter,
was barred from boarding a flight with its owner earlier this year
and, of course, Pebbles, the emotional support hamster, which ended up flushed down a toilet.

The name of the squirrel has not yet been released.

A squirrel!! I would love that. My favourite animal is an elephant, but I suspect they won't allow that. So I'll have to settle for a panda that I can hug

I would bring Laurel

Can I bring an emotional support human animal? It would save the price of a ticket?

An old dog.
One that is fluffy, soft and smells nice. Or just smells like a clean dog, just one that doesn't smell yak.

A squirrel?

I would bring my big softie golden retriever boy. He’s the best emotional support there is.

A giraffe. Okay it would have to be a baby one to fit, i will concede 🤔

A giraffe would be an awesome assistance animal. Why haven't I thought of this before?!

They are without hesitation my absolute favourite animal ever. They look so gentle & regal but jeez they can have a row with those necks!

8Pissedoff they'll stick me an you in the back section for African animals (if I get to take my ele)

Labrador.

Nobody should choose a dolphin though:
apart from the slippery, flippery side - there was an OP in AIBU the other night who was really dolphinphobic

Yes! Our own section. Sounds blissful tbh, i'm a bit of a people hater

I'd like an emotional support pig please.

It would have to be organised so that noone's emotional support animal ate someone else's

• that would rather defeat the purpose

Assuming you don’t mean a usual pet (like our adorable old Labradors) then a sloth....probably a baby sloth..... awwwwwww x 1000.

Keep the ideas coming, pictures too

Sloths are cute! And pigs too. I love all animals really

So far no one has picked a dangerous one so that's good. Our flight should go smoothly

OMG that baby sloth😍😍😍 I'd bring a kitten. To cuddle.

A hippopotamus.

(I have an somewhat unhealthy obsession with the song I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas)

I'm picturing all the different litter trays ...
All in something like the Tardis, which can expand to fill the needs of its passengers
... and has good ventilation and hair filters

With huge seats, so you can hug your chosen animal

A chow chow dog

A rat or a mouse, so they can run off into the aircraft and chew the wires. Meh, I’m a grumpy fucker. A squirrel? ffs!

I'd have 10 dogs because nobody would be sad if they had 10 dogs.

This is hilarious. I have always wanted a baby elephant. However I have just remembered the Penguins of Madagascar and am thinking they would be great in a crisis.
