The suit states at the time the mayor was not “teasing, tormenting or abusing the dog.”Immediately following the incident, the lawsuit states, Ganim asked the airline whether the dog had all its vaccinations but Delta refused to provide that information. The airline also refused to provide Ganim with the name and contact information of the dog’s owner.“Delta Airlines Inc. is legally responsible for the incident in that it failed to safeguard the plaintiff from unwarranted harm by allowing a dog neither crated nor muzzled to walk freely on and within the cabin of the plane,” the suit states.Delta Airlines has received numerous complaints since it began allowing passengers to bring emotional support dogs onto its planes.Last year a man claimed in a lawsuit that he was mauled on a flight by a fellow passenger’s dog and required 28 stitches.In March 2018, Delta issued rules requiring passengers to provide proof of animal training and the animal’s immunization records before allowing them to board a plane with a dog.
