In a viral Instagram reel on 9 February, Spotty's owner shared the heartwarming details of her well-mannered flight.
Spotty, a registered service dog, was a perfect passenger, sitting calmly throughout the flight. No mid-air meltdowns, no puppy tantrums — just a wagging tail and the occasional nap. She's a total pro!

The journey began in the airport lounge, where Spotty looked right at home, before continuing on to her relaxed flight
She didn't have any water until an hour before landing and didn't even ask for breakfast, proving just how well-trained she is.
Her owner was fully prepared with pee pads in case of any emergencies, but Spotty was cool as a cucumber, eating normally once they landed in Tokyo.
