The lawyer for a woman who was seen being dragged off a Southwest Airlines flight in Maryland said that she never claimed her allergy to dogs was life-threatening.

Anila Daulatzai, 46, reportedly told the crew that she was allergic to two dogs traveling on the plane. They told her that she could manage by sitting away from the dogs in the rear of the plane, attorney Arjun Sethi said in a statement posted on his website.
