Many dog owners know that boarding a plane with a pet can be a challenge, but this story takes the cake: one man paid for three seats on a plane so his Great Dane could travel with him!
Despite the unusual situation, this big dog won the hearts of everyone on the plane and many more people online.
When Gabriel Bogner moved from Los Angeles to Brooklyn recently, he had to figure out a way to fly his dog Darwin across the country. In a TikTok video, Gabriel explained that he has Crohn’s disease and that he relies on Darwin as his service dog.

Many airlines allow support animals to board with their owners, but Darwin is a bit different — he’s a giant, 140-pound Great Dane. Gabriel said that he explored many options for travelling with Darwin and that the Great Dane was bigger than the largest crate available.
But soon, he found a solution: American Airlines told him that he could bring Darwin on board with him if he bought three seats for the dog, allowing enough space for Darwin to fly comfortably.

Gabriel agreed, and it led to one unforgettable flight for everyone. A viral TikTok video, which has been viewed nearly 18 million times, shows this big dog’s in-flight adventure.

“Who says Great Danes aren’t airplane dogs,” Gabriel wrote in the caption.
