KANSAS CITY, Mo. ( !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ) — United Airlines says it’s investigating after mistakenly flying a Kansas family’s dog to Japan.
!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! 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. The airline said the kennels were similar.
According to KCTV, Irgo will see a veterinarian before being put back on a flight to Kansas City. There is a chance that Irgo may need to be quarantined for up to two weeks in Japan due to traveling on an international flight. It remains unclear as to when the dog will arrive in Kansas City.
We now bring you live footage from United’s PR department:

Be a dog-gone shame if they didn’t get credited with the Frequent Flier miles on the return trip...

Yeah, I don’t trust airline baggage handlers not to lose my luggage, I really don’t trust them with a living being. I’ve always flown with my dogs in the cabin (obviously that’s not really an option for a German Shepherd or a Great Dane). My mom had to bring her dog back from the UK via plane (apparently the best way to do it is to come over on the Queen Mary, but their kennel is small and fills up fast), but for that she used a third-party service with tarmac access to prevent the airline from having to do anything other than load and unload the dog.
