[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]

Agree.  Everything I have read suggests this happens when she boarded the plane and her approved dog carrier did not fit under the seat.  That is United's fault assuming they knew which seat she was in and approved the dog carrier.  Regardless, I still would have insisted on getting off the plane before putting my pet in the overhead bin, and fought my battle afterwards with the media and United, from the safety of the airport/my home, with a live puppy.
