"This isn't something to joke about. What happened to this pet was disgraceful," Kennedy said
ARLINGTON, Va. — A 10-year-old German shepherd Irgo was supposed to be on a flight from Oregon to Kansas City, but when owner Kara Swindle arrived in Missouri, United Airlines gave her a Great Dane instead. The dogs got switched, and Irgo was sent to Japan.
“At this point all I can do is be hopeful that my dog is going to be OK,” said owner Kara Swindle. “I’ve cried too much.”
United says the error happened during the dogs’ connection in Denver. On Wednesday, the airline apologized — something it’s done a lot of this week.
On a Monday night flight from Houston to New York, a flight attendant ordered Catalina Robledo and her 11-year-old daughter Sophia to put a bag in the overhead bin. Inside was their 10-month-old French bulldog, Kokito.
