Reddit user biggestlittlepickle posted an image of the unusual event with the caption, "My neighbor is a flight attendant. He just posted this photo of someone's 'therapy pet,' on his flight."
If you're as confused as we were by that picture, let us explain. It turns out it's actually pretty easy to register an animal as an emotional support animal. According to the National Service Animal Registry, you can register almost any animal with a doctor's note stating you have a disability. After that, you pay a fee, and your certificate is promptly mailed to you.
