Cute little guy.
Dogs need a Bill of Rights.
“Rules are rules...” Yeah, tell that to Hillary, Loretta Lynch or James Comey.
1951 our family returned from my dad’s 3 year tour of duty in Japan. With us was our mutt, puddles. His crate was placed on a small upper deck area where all the dogs were required to be.
My brother worked and worked on finding the right person to approve our dog be brought to an inside hallway/alcove section. It worked and he rode the pacific Ocean indoors instead of being exposed to the elements which were quite severe. My brother had to care for puddles and hose down the deck area where the few dogs were. He also contracted with other dog owners to service their dogs for a fee. He made some money. Pretty good for an 11 year old.
Once in the states we had to negotiate again with the right person(s) to allow our crated dog to ride in our cabins instead of the hot and stuffy baggage car. Again that worked and the dog rode from California to Illinois in the luxury of a private and cooler cabin while the crate was left empty in the baggage car. A lot of rules were broken or ignored by quite a few people.
I doubt this could happen today.
Years ago I learned that there is a "gatekeeper" personality. These people tend to get themselves jobs where they can throw their weight around.
Examples of these petty tyrants abound in doctors' offices, low-level government positions, public school administration offices.
Some of the worst ones I've encountered are female flight attendants; though I've seen male flight attendants behave like fascists too.
I hate to say it, but most of these horrid people are women. (Am I allowed to say that? [/s] - I'm a woman myself.)
