We need Airlines to allow seat purchase for dogs while securely buckled in with a harness

The Issue

For a dog to fly on a private jet service or commercial airline they must be under 25 pounds, able to fit in a small carrier and stowed under a seat for the entire flight, ride with cargo, or be a certified service dog, unless however you are able to afford to charter an entire plane and even then many require dogs remain in a carrier.  There are simple ways, using dog car seats that use the regular seat belt and have an attached safety strap to a dog harness that can be used in any car or airline seat so the dog is securely buckled in during the flight and protects the regular seat. Dogs, even flat faced, can wear special muzzles to prevent barking if needed, and seats can be sold so that no one but the dog owner has to sit next to the dog. There are many dog owners who would love to purchase seats for their well-behaved dogs so they can fly to more locations. Many people have chosen to have pets rather than children. Hotels have become more pet-friendly while airlines have made it impossible for most dog owners. There are simple solutions that would open up a whole new customer market to airlines and ensure the safety of the dog and other passengers if only they would be willing to listen and let us demonstrate how this is possible and give ideas. If you would like airlines to give dog owners a chance by letting us show how this can be done, please join us in signing this petition!
