This dog spent 63 hours travelling.  Most of it in the cargo hold of the plane.  The poor dog is now a basket case and is on medication for anxiety.

its not just being in the cargo hold, I saw two crates with dogs in them on a trolley line amongst the baggage, waiting to be loaded on a jet.  . Along came another jet, engines screaming as it moved into the bay beside the other jet and the waiting trolley cars, it was obvious the dogs in the carry crates were terrified as the crates were rocking so badly it was a miracle they did not come off and fall to the ground.  Why on earth not load them immediately instead of being not only in the sun for over half an hour but being subjected to another jet coming in beside them????   I saw that at Mascot airport. 

 

so distressing to see

 

Having worked for Kelvinator for ten years and they freight parts all over australia. the places parts end up instead of where they are addressed to is astonishing to say the least.

 

so what happened to that poor dog is not a one off as far as being put on the wrong plane. tragic it was the poor dog instead of an inanimate parcel
