"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.
