Narrative:
A mr X refused to follow crew member instructions, in that he refused to put his dog in the kennel that he brought on the aircraft. He let the dog run free in the back area of the aircraft and decided to make his way to the first class area. When I discovered him sitting there, he was fondling himself. I firmly asked him to go back to his seat. Mr X rose from seat and got uncomfortably close to me. He demanded I serve him dinner. There was no meal service in the coach cabin, but there was in first class. I told him that the meal service was for those who paid to situation in the first class cabin. He did go back to his seat, but never restrained his dog. Apparently, he was difficult with the flight attendants in the back. All flight attendants felt that mr X was mentally deranged. His return travel back to the united states was changed to another airline.
