The point is he didn't decline the dog as he should have and that's a problem that cannot happen again. My other point is the dogs went cargo and you say were screened better than you and that is just not the case. As a matter of fact you are not allowed in the cargo area so you wouldn't even know.I am with Judy as well, I must be imagining things as well. 2 dogs we have brought back went cargo and were screened in my views better than I am. I spent more than 5 minutes in the small very hot room while 3 or 4 security guards scrutinized the paper work and without doing an invasive procedure examined the dogs thoroughly including scanning them. This is not second hand information from a friend or somebody I talked with, it was done in front of me. The in cabin dog went through security right along with me just as Judy described. I in no way being a do gooder circumvent any security procedures and don't understand you accusation towards that, nor would security allow it. It is very simple, if you are not comfortable doing it, don't, if you are it is very easy and a great help to the Humane Society.
If I was in el Graduado's friends shoes and the story went as described, I probably would have declined escorting as well if they weren't familiar with the Humane Society. As a regular visitor I know many of the people involved and my comfort level is different than a newer visitor.
I get the fact that you think bringing dogs from a foreign country to the US is a good idea. I don't! Lets just leave it there and agree to disagree. It's not like we have an overabundance of dogs and cats in the US already.
