This will be Kalev’s first flight.

I called the American Airlines and told them that I would be bringing a service dog. They said they would have someone in their customer care center call me back to go over details.

I am quite impressed. They worked with me to get Kalev a good seat (by the bulkhead so he’ll have more room) and told me what requirements are needed. Because Kalev does some mobility tasks for me they listed him as a mobility dog rather than a psychiatric dog.

She said that would bypass some of the paperwork required because she was aware how difficult it was to get into the VA to get the required paperwork on short notice.

But after this flight is over I’ll go to their website and find out what the requirements for their official letter is and take it in to my psych and get it written.

Cross your fingers for Kalev to have a successful first flight.
