Sure, pets have a place in public ('emotional support animals', me bony Irish arse). Those place are called 'parks'. They do NOT have a place on my flight, in my restaurant, my doctor's office, and so on.
Don't take me wrong - I love animals. I've had pets of one sort or another for literally as long as I can remember. We have two cats right now, and I'm over the moon about them. But even though we go tremendous lengths and expense for their health, welfare and comfort, at the end of the day pets are NOT people.
If people are so goddamned emotionally attached to their pets that they can't bear to be parted from them,, then they (the people) should never leave their homes, or at least stay hell away from places where I'm trying to eat.
