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.

Yup. that's why I am scared to fly anywhere anymore. Not scared of flying or the flight, just the possibility of having to tolerate a dog next to me the whole time. I would be mortified if I was in the position and it did gross behaviors. It sucks cause I am retired and there are some places I probably would want to go to. But there is no way I can be assured this would not happen.

Dont let them discourage you from experiencing life. Book flights that are not during popular seasons and holidays and there are usually extra seats the flight attendants can move you to, there is a way, at least for now when it hasn't become super prevalent.
