Service animals help people with disabilities lead a more independent life. But a greater number of people are taking “emotional support animals” on planes and other places to help mitigate stressful conditions.
Unlike service animals, mostly dogs that help with tasks, emotional support animals need not be trained and span a greater number of species to include cats, birds, ferrets and others — even pigs.
We are working on a story and want to hear from you if you have experienced a flight or shared a restaurant with untrained animals, or if you use an emotional support animal. Contact reporter Chris Stewart at Chris.Stewart@coxinc.com or at (937)225-2442.
