Again with the dogs, United? At least you didn’t kill anyone this time, so you’ve got that going for you, I guess.
KCTV reports that Kara Swindle and her two children flew from Oregon to Kansas City, Missouri, Tuesday on a United flight.
They went to a cargo facility to pick up 10-year-old Irgo, a German shepherd, but were instead given a Great Dane. Swindle, of Wichita, Kansas, learned Irgo had been put on a flight to Japan, where the Great Dane was supposed to go.
United paid for the family to stay at a hotel for a night as they attempt to unfuck things, and wonder of wonders, managed to get them a room in the correct city. At the moment nobody seems to know how long it’s going to take for poor Irgo to be vet checked and flown to his proper destination, so one night may not even come close to cutting it.
We’ll see if the dog makes it back from Japan alive…so they’re not out of the woods yet. 10-year-old dogs probably don’t do well on two long-hall cargo flights. Let’s hope he does ok.
