The dog sat in her seat for the 5.5-hour flight from Singapore to Tokyo without taking a toilet break.

A Dalmatian has become the Internet’s darling after a video of the dog, identified as Spotty sitting quietly in Singapore Airlines’ business class surfaced on social media.

A video shared on Instagram page Spottytheswissdalmatian on Feb 9 captured Spotty flying in style to the land of the rising sun, Japan.

Reportedly, the dog sat in her seat for the 5.5-hour flight from Singapore to Tokyo without taking a toilet break.

“Spotty flies to Japan,” reads the video’s caption shared on Instagram.

The dog traveling business class video quickly gained traction online, grossing over 376,743 likes and numerous comments.

Many viewers were impressed by Spotty’s impeccable behavior, noting that she didn’t ask for a single bathroom break during the flight. While, others wondered why the Dalmatian was allowed to travel in a business class seat instead of being transported in cargo.

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.
