Netizens React to Viral Video

In the comments section, netizens were impressed by Spotty’s calmness on the plane.
“[The dog] is behaving better than many humans,” one Instagram user commented.
A few others wondered about SIA’s policies on travelling with a dog.

“How did you get the dog on Singapore Airlines? Is [it] allowed in business class?” a netizen asked.
Responding to comments, Spotty’s owner said that she is a registered service dog, or assistance dog.

Flying with dogs.

On its website, SIA stated that assistance dogs are accepted for travel on board its flights.
An assistance dog is one that is trained to perform tasks to assist persons with disabilities or medical conditions, such as a guide or hearing dog.

The national carrier added that emotional support dogs, comfort dogs, companionship dogs and assistance dogs-in-training are not considered assistance dogs.

Since April 2023, SIA no longer allows passengers to fly with emotional support dogs.
