[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would have walked off the plane before allowing my dog to go into an overhead bin.  Common sense says there is not enough air for a puppy to breathe there.[/quote]

The woman should have declined to fly.[/quote]

It was mid flight, dummies. Good luck walking off. [/quote]

The articles I read the dog spent the entire flight in the overhead compartment, which tends to suggest that it was put up there prior to take-off, not mid-flight.

But since the articles vary significantly in the details depending on which passengers the reporter spoke to, they're all a bit suspect.[/quote]

The article I just read suggest that the dog actually died mid-flight but was not discovered dead until the end of the flight.  Apparently a lot of passengers witnessed the whole thing, including the owner trying to revive the dog, and it was very upsetting to a lot of people.  Other passengers witnessed the FA put the dog in the overhead as the owner protested but they had no idea that there was no ventilation up there.  Otherwise, the other passengers would have gotten the dog out of the overhead even if the owner hadn't.

Really a sad situation.  I hope the FA is fired.[/quote]
