Dog on United Airlines flight accidentally gets sent to Japan

March 14, 2018

United Airlines can’t seem to get things right when it comes to pets on their flights.

Per the Guardian, a German shepherd named Irgo bound for Kansas City, Mo. was accidentally sent to Japan on Tuesday evening. When his family went to the airport to pick him up, they were presented with a great dane instead. 

Apparently, it was the great dane, not Irgo the German shepherd, that was supposed to be sent to Japan.

United issued the following statement to Mashable, and noted that the mixup occurred during a connection in Denver.

This pet mishap follows on the tail of another unfortunate dog-related incident for United. Earlier this week, a French bulldog named Kokito was placed in the overhead compartment  after being ordered to do so by a flight attendant. When the plane landed, the dog was found dead, passing away sometime during the course of the three hour flight.  Read more…
