Elucidation about dead puppy in the United Airlines luggage room

A US senator has asked United Airlines for clarification after the death of a puppy.

The dog died during a flight from Houston to New York. The eleven-year-old boss said to have warned the stewardess. ' We said something like: 'it's a dog, it's dog'. And she said: that does not matter. You still have to store it '', Sophia Ceballos told ABC News. Another passenger contradicted and said that the employee did not seem to realize that an animal was in the bag.

The family states that the puppy barked for about two hours. Then the animal became silent. Due to the turbulence the girl and her mother had to remain seated. The airline spoke in a statement about a misunderstanding. The stewardess would not have known that a dog was in the bag.

Senator John Kennedy has asked United Director Scott Kirby for a text and explanation by letter. The politician points out that according to official figures at United more animals have died than with other American societies. The Ministry of Transport said it had started an investigation into the circumstances under which the dog died.
