Shocking footage captured the moment a flight attendant looked on in horror as a passenger walked on a plane with an ‘emotional support’ Great Dane.
The huge dog went viral over the weekend after footage shared to Instagram showed the Great Dane filling the carriage of the small jet, which had just two seats per row.
The person who shared the video questioned: ‘Have we taken this support animal thing too far?’
‘Society: Hold my beer.’
The Instagram user shared a hilarious follow-up after his footage went viral, showing the Great Dane’s head poking up from a seat in the back after it ‘got his own seat.’
Viewers had a mixed reaction to the dog’s presence on the airplane, with some saying they would have enjoyed sitting next to the canine while others felt it was not appropriate.
‘That should have gone in cargo,’ one said.
Another countered: ‘’d be praying they were coming to sit next to me! Lol.’

It comes a year after the Department of Transportation introduced new ruled to crackdown on the use of emotional support animals after some passengers were deemed to be overstepping.
Recent years have seen passengers attempt to bring peacocks, pigs, miniature horses and even turkeys on their flights.
The new rules were designed to stem the rise of untrained pets being used as service or emotional support animals on flights by requiring passengers to complete forms about their pets training in advance.
However, the rules quickly came under fire after blind passengers claimed they are now encountering more pushback around taking their much-needed service animals aboard flights since the regulations came into force.
Elizabeth Schoen, 21, who is blind told the Washington Post that her guide dog Eva was barred from a flight to Boston last year.

Schoen claims she attempted to submit the necessary form online four days before her JetBlue flight but the portal rejected it.
Advised by customer service to bring the paperwork to the airport instead she did.
However, airline staffers told her she had not submitted the form online and her dog was turned away.
‘If you’re denying my dog, you’re denying me,’ she told The Post.
Schoen missed her flight and spent about $400 to fly the next day with a different airline.
‘It’s made me more scared. Every time I go to the airport, it’s like, «Are they going to stop me?”’ Schoen said.
