“I heard this noise, a heavy snorting,” Gill told Stuff.
Adding:
“I thought it was my husband’s phone, but we looked down and realised it was the dog breathing."
Dog fart was smelly and unbearable
The couple reportedly asked the flight crew if they could have their seats switched.
Unfortunately, the only available seats were at the back of the plane in the economy class.
Gill and Warren noted that halfway through the flight, the dog's fart made the flight unbearable.
The dog's owner reportedly could not have the dog on the plane's aisle as flight attendants could not get the trolleys through.
“My husband was in shorts, and was getting the dog’s saliva goo on his leg,” Gill said.
She emailed a complaint to the airline and was offered travel vouchers worth N180,000.
