There are a few people out there getting carried away with this issue, I dont have to worry anymore. I divorced her, now she is still flying first class somewhere with her (service dog).

I love this post. We travel a lot and we bring our dog. He is small enough that he can be put in a carrier under the seat and most of the time no one even knows he is there. Yes, you do pay a fee if this is not a service dog and they cannot be accommodated if they weigh over 20 pounds. I decided I wanted the freedom to take him anywhere when we traveled so I went online, bought a service vest and the cards you present if anyone challenges you. Seemed like a good idea at the time. The first time I took him out in his service vest I felt like a total Schmuck! That was 9 years ago and he has never worn that vest since. I can't imagine a person who "cheats the system" like this. I just couldn't do it. You are lucky that this deceitful person is your X.
