Dog mistakenly sent by United to Japan returning home to his owners

After a mix-up with United that resulted in a family's dog being sent to Japan instead of Kansas by mistake, Irgo the German shepherd is returning home. According to his owners, Irgo will be traveling by private charter Thursday on a nearly 12-hour long flight, leaving Narita International Airport in Tokyo at 10:30 p.m. local time and arriving back home in Wichita, Kansas around 8:25 p.m. Irgo ended up in the foreign country mistakenly when his owner, Kara Swindle, was moving with her family and pet from Oregon to Kansas.

Swindle was traveling to Wichita with her two small children on a United flight Tuesday. 10-year-old Irgo was being flown on a separate flight the same day, KCTV reports.

Indeed.

It’s slightly reminiscent of Hussein flying in pizza from Chicago

United breaks guitars, threatens, beats up, & drags passengers off of its flights, and kills pets at 3 times the rate of any other U.S. carrier. What comes of making an unhealthy, incompetent, affirmative action bean counter the CEO.

United... THEY HATE TO FLY & it shows!!!! Flying used to be so much fun in the 70s, 80s, 90s. Now I hate it. Going to Let neon soon. Dreading the airport, TSA, flight. Should be fun to go on vacation! We have AVOIDED United for years.
