Dog owner says United disregarded her pet’s barks for help before it died in overhead bin

From the interview:

Robledo tearfully recalled not being able to check on her dog, because her newborn was on her lap.

Robledo tearfully recalled not being able to check on her dog, because her newborn was on her lap.
(WNJU)
A mother of two was forced to watch her French bulldog get stuffed into the overhead compartment of a United Airlines flight, begging a hostess not to put the ill-fated pooch up there.

Catalina Robledo helplessly listened to the dog, Kokito, yelp before eventually dying aboard the Houston-to-New York flight Monday, she told Telemundo.

“The dog barked and barked but I could not stand,” because her newborn baby was on her lap and the plane was going through turbulence, Robledo said in Spanish.

The flight crew, she continued, did nothing as Kokito barked.

Dog dies after being stored overhead during United flight

Kokito was reportedly in a dog carrier that the flight crew said was blocking the aisle, so a stewardess put the case in the overhead storage bin.

Robledo and people sitting nearby tried to explain there was a dog inside, passengers said.

She wasn’t able to get to Kokito until four hours later as the plane arrived at LaGuardia Airport.

“I grabbed him on the floor and said: ‘Kokito breathe, breathe,’” she told Telemundo in Spanish. “But he was already dead.”

The stewardess claimed she didn’t know there was a dog inside the carrier, Robledo said, and left the plane crying.[/quote]

Why did she travel with the dog?[/quote]

I don't think it matters why she traveled with the dog.  She paid the ticket.  I can't understand how the stewardess didn't know there wasn't a dog in the dog carrier.  Clearly it's a lie and it makes me question everything else she says or will say. My heart breaks for this family- to see a dead puppy like that is awful.  I accidentally saw that image and I can't un-see it anymore. [/quote]
