DELTA AIRLINES LOSES PUPPY

Delta Airlines is now in the dog-losing business. An Idaho man says his new 8-week-old puppy was flown across the country and to several wrong airports before finally arriving in his arms Sunday. Owner Josh Schlaich was having a puppy flown from Richmond, Virginia, to Boise on Saturday evening. It was supposed to connect in Detroit and Minneapolis. But Delta says there was a mixup, and the dog ended up spending Saturday night in a kennel in Detroit. On Sunday morning, the puppy was flown to Minneapolis – but then Delta misrouted the puppy and it ended up in Las Vegas. The puppy was then put on a plane to Salt Lake City, finally making it to Boise on Sunday night. Delta said the puppy was given food and water and let out of its crate periodically throughout the journey.

* On the bright side, while in Vegas the puppy won $1200 playing Blackjack.
* But sadly, the puppy’s luggage ended up in Houston.
* But happily, the dog now has enough frequent flier miles to vacation in Katmandu.
* This is like those stories about dogs finding their way home from hundreds of miles away … but with airplanes added.
* Do people really need to be buying dogs from other parts of the country? Is there a dog shortage in Idaho that’s not being reported?
