A video of a man boarding a cross-country flight with his Great Dane has gone viral on social media. The owner, Gabriel Bogner, paid for three seats so that his beloved dog, Darwin, could fit comfortably on the flight. This was Darwin's first plane ride, and Bogner said that people at the airport were excited to see the large service dog. American Airlines has a policy for travelling with service animals and asks certain questions to determine if an animal qualifies.

The video gained a lot of popularity online. Some people who watched the video jokingly demanded refunds for their own flights that lacked a Great Dane. Bogner gave a shoutout to American Airlines. He was travelling from Los Angeles, California, to New York City.

Great Danes are often described as gentle giants, known for their playfulness, confidence, and steadiness. They have a massive size and require proper socialization and training. The breed has an average lifespan of 8 to 10 years.

When it comes to bringing pets on a plane, there are various options such as checking them in as cargo or bringing them into the cabin as emotional support animals. However, airlines have been cracking down on pets that qualify as emotional support animals. Requirements for pet travel vary by airline and airport, so it's important to check with the air carrier before travelling. The Humane Society recommends choosing the cabin for pet travel if possible to avoid the potential dangers and discomforts of the cargo hold.

Overall, this unusual travel experience has gained significant attention online, with viewers fascinated by the sight of a Great Dane on a cross-country flight.
