According to the United Airlines website, pets are permitted on domestic flights as long as they can fit in a container under the seat, where they must stay at all times.
A flight bound for Seattle, United States, was diverted to Dallas after a dog pooped in the aisle of the plane. The incident occurred on a United Airlines flight which took off from Houston on Friday.
A Reddit user, gig_wizard, shared a picture of the mess on the flight on the social media platform. "Dog had messy accident in the aisle right in first class. Plane diverted to DFW. Ground crew spent over 2 hours cleaning carpets with paper towels," the user said. The incident was later confirmed by the airlines to Business Insider.
"Smell made me ill. Gate agents kept yelling at passengers and the cabin crew. The smell never quite went away. First class toilet declared unusable as the dog mess was apparently unresolved in there. Food went bad while on the ground so very few snacks left," the post continued.
