One principle of politeness might be phrased as, "avoid (avoidable) behaviors that create only benefits for me and only inconveniences for the people around me."

Taking your dog on a plane fails this test. Sure, some people don't mind. I mind. A lot. And so do a lot of other people. Bringing your dog on a plane means either not realizing or not caring that you're creating such a large disturbance for the rest of us, neither of which is a category to be proud of.
