I finally told the attendant that they needed to go look for her as we were going to have a?major problem if she is not on this flight.? 10 minutes later he came This reminds me of the time Connie Beckhardt was shipping my bitch back to me from New Jersey to San Francisco. I was there at the airport to watch the plane land and see her get off. It was hot and there was a dog crate on the runway. Well, after fussing so much at them someone finally went down to check the crate and came back and said it wasn't her, she was already at cargo. So I go flying over to cargo. It's changing shift time and I get the run-around and they can't find the dog. To make a long story short, they sent her on to Hawaii (fortunately they do have kennel runs there). She came back the next morning and got out of the crate looking like she had lost her last friend - until she realized who was there to meet her! After that when I flew a dog I would talk to the head honcho in cargo to make sure they took the dog off the plane when it arrived. Of course, that doesn't help when you are traveling with the dog and they mess up.
