We know how animals get when they are offended, so let’s just say that Hank is big-boned. And because of his large, ahem, bones, he was wheeled onto an American Airlines flight and got to sit in the front row of first class.

You see, Hank has an illness and is Kari Whitman’s support dog. He gets carted around on top a pillow-topped cart. Hank got noticed after a fellow passenger snapped a picture of him and tweeted it – the pic then got retweeted more than 4 200 times.

This isn’t even his first flight. Hank has an Instagram account which shows all:

Everyone, both while boarding the plane and on the plane before takeoff, was speculating as to how the dog got so fat. You could legitimately hear hushed whispers of “He’s riding first class”.

Hank stayed quiet for the entire flight and spent most of his time on the floor in front of his seat.

What a sweetheart.
