"So the full sized dog that's on my flight, well it did what dogs do & went to the bathroom when it felt like it smack dab in middle of aisle," one passenger Tweeted.

“Just gets worse @USAirways after being delayed 2 hours we get grounded because of dog poop on the plane. A 7 hour trip is now pushing 14,” another wrote. 

“I don't think the dog poop was initial issue, it was more the people around getting sick, a la when Chunk ralphed over the balcony #Goonies,” another Tweeted.
