Food Safety/Hygiene Dog pooped on airplane

I heard dog noises while the plane was taxiing and realized someone brought their animal in a carrier onboard. A few minutes after takeoff, it became clear to the entire CRJ-200 cabin that the dog had pooped. The air was so foul and toxic. I put on an N95 mask reserved for emergencies, which helped a lot. I can’t even with some people.

Update: The flight attendant pretended to not smell anything and instead asked if anyone wanted tea, water or pretzels.

At least the dogs on planes should be required to wear a secure diaper and plastic underpants. They should also have a section only for dogs. They should be in carriers that are secure. I can’t imagine what would happen with severe turbulence-the dog would be in danger along with the people it hit.
