An American Airlines flight from Nashville to Washington, D.C., was met by emergency crews at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport after a service dog on board had an in-flight accident.

The incident occurred in the aircraft cabin and led to discomfort among several passengers, prompting concern among the crew. A Hazmat response was initially requested as a precaution.

The service dog’s accident was later identified as the source of the issue, and the response level was reduced before the aircraft arrived at the gate. Medical staff evaluated passengers after landing, and no injuries or ongoing treatment were reported.

The flight continued to operate on schedule, and no further details about the service dog or its handler were released.
