A witness said that a flight attendant had ordered the pet owner to put the dog in the compartment before the plane took of

Obviously this is horrible and incredibly sad and I hope the worker who insisted the dog be stored as luggage is punished but why did the owner not once check on the dog? I understand it says the infant needed attention but what responsible owner would not check on their dog?

..it says in the article that the airline accepts full responsibility...which is no comfort atm, I know...this is just so sad and tragic.....and ‘preventability’ always adds another layer to that because this sad loss of life could have been prevented...
...all of the ‘if onlys’ so many people must be feeling.....if only the correctly sized travelling box/cage had been used and the pup was under the seat...if only the attendant hadn’t demanded and enforced something that was obvious in its danger to the pup...if only all on the flight had realised how weakened the ‘voice’ was becoming before all fell silent......so many if onlys must be felt by so many people right now...it’s all heart-breaking...I really feel for the flight attendant as well because their if onlys will be so difficult to live with...I’m not sure if I could live with something like that...the distress of the mother and the children and all on the flight, just awful and so sad for all...awful... |

I didn't think dogs were allowed on board only in the luggage compartments in a suitable crate ? but I guess it must be,but to leave a dog in an overhead compartment is madness, I hope whoever is responsible for this gets the book thrown at them .

No way would my dog have gone in the overhead compartment, if I'd had to have got off the plane.
United Airlines though... what a bloody shower. |

This is horrible and completely unnecessary. Presumably the dog suffocated.

I also wouldn't have put my dog in the overhead locker, but I'm also aware that many people do have somewhat of a lack of common sense. Also, in that situation, they are lead to believe that the people working there and telling them what to do know best so they probabaly just followed their instructions thinking it happens all the time - very bery sad story
WHY ARE PEOPLE STILL USING THIS COMPANY FFS

Such cruelty, I don't understand how that airline is still in business, last year they were attacking people and dragging them off plans and this year they're killing dogs.
****ing awful company, I hope the owners sue for every penny. Last edited by Tom4784; 14-03-2018 at 11:32 AM. |

In all seriousness though, surely we have to put some of the blame on the owner? I mean... There's being TOLD to put your dog in an overhead compartment, and then there's... Actually doing it...

Perhaps the owner had trouble understanding the consequences of putting a live animal into and airtight compartment, but what was wrong with the people sitting in that vicinity to say nothing and not check it was ok,as for the Airline,I have no words.

Surely if the dog was in the plane and not in the hold it must have been some kind of therapy dog? Whatever... the dog was going to suffocate and anyone on that plane near enough to see what was happening should have known it.
