News report 1

United Airlines has apologized for mistakenly shipping an American family’s

pet dog in the wrong direction to Japan. The dog owner’s beloved 10-year-old

dog named Buddy, took an unexpected 16-hour flight to Tokyo following a

mix-up by the airline. The dog owner’s family are currently in the process of

moving. They were meant to be reunited with the pet in their new home city in

Texas. But, when they arrived at the United Airlines cargo facility in the

southern US state, they found a stranger’s dog waiting in Buddy’s place. Both

of the dogs had been sent to the wrong destinations on connecting flights

from Denver, with Buddy mistakenly being sent to Japan instead. Buddy was

given a physical check-up when he arrived at Tokyo’s International Airport.

The dog was then sent back to the US on a private chartered jet. “I'm so glad

he's alive and coming home soon,” said the relieved dog owner. “An error

occurred during the connections in Denver. We have notified our customers

that their pets arrived safely. We will arrange to return the pens to them as

soon as possible,” a spokesperson of United Airlines said.
