UNITED AIRLINES MISTAKENLY FLIES FAMILY DOG TO JAPAN

Fresh from killing a family’s dog by insisting it be placed in the overhead bin, United Airlines has now mistakenly flown another family’s dog to Japan. Kara and Joseph Swindle, along with their children, are in the process of moving from Oregon to Kansas. After Kara and the kids flew into Kansas City Tuesday, they went to a United Airlines cargo facility to pick up Irgo, their 10-year-old German Shepherd. Instead, they discovered a Great Dane dog instead. They later learned that their dog had been mistakenly put on a United flight to Japan – instead of the Great Dane. When the plane landed in Japan, officials were able to locate Irgo. He will see a veterinarian and then be put on a flight back to Kansas City, but might be required to be quarantined in Japan up to two weeks before making the return trip.
* Talk about screwing the pooch.
* To be fair, the words “Kansas City” and “Japan” are almost identical.
* Good thing it didn’t get sent to Korea. It would have come back in a casserole dish.
* On the up side, the dog now has enough free miles to go visit relatives in Germany.
* Maybe “United” should change their name to “Separated”.
