Georgette here is my new hero. And maybe my daughter's.

At one point, our kid worked at an airline reservations job. (Didn't pay much, but where else can you get a ticket to Fiji and New Zealand for $17, right?) One of the things that most drove her nuts was people with their ALLEGED service animals. In her opinion, if you are so emotionally disturbed that you can't leave the house without your "Emotional Support Service Ferret" by your side, you might want to consider a new pharmaceutical regime...or just stay home.

Luckily for MiniSue, her employer was NOT a US-based airline...so they played by REASONABLE rules. Essentially, since the airline's job is to get EVERYONE from Point A to Point B in one piece, if you needed an "emotional support service animal" that was above and beyond the usual "seeing-eye dog" or even a capuchin monkey to open locks, all you needed was for your physician to convince the airline's physician that you really had to have that animal.

That said, I give you Georgette...and Pear:

 
It's a shame about the possum's short life span. After all that hard work, I think it would deserve a better fate after death than just being thrown out on the road. The next time I see one, I'll pull over for moment of silence to recognize its service to a disabled person.
