FULL TITLE: Ten-month-old French Bulldog puppy dies on a United Flight after air crew 'order its owner to put it in overhead compartment'

A ten-month-old French Bulldog puppy has died after a United Airlines flight attendant allegedly told the dog's owner to put it in the overhead compartment.

The owner boarded United Flight 1284, from Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport to New York's LaGuardia, on Monday, with her puppy in its carrier.

But fellow passenger, June Lara, who sat behind the owner on the flight, told Chron.com that a member of the flight crew said the animal should go in the overhead bins.

Ahh, Untied Airlines does it again.

"...United Airlines kills puppies and breaks guitars..."

The small dog would probably have been fine in the designated carrier right at the passenger’s feet.

[McGruff]

Lara said that when the plane eventually landed three hours later and the owner, who was with her two young children, opened the overheard luggage, the dog was dead.

Sorry to hear this but 3 hours and they didn’t check on the dog? Another solution would be to not allow any animals in the passenger compartment.

How many more strikes can United and its awful CEO take?

[Kickass Conservative]

Did another Passenger, possibly a Science Teacher, have a Snapping Turtle in the same Overhead Compartment?

[Shadowstrike]

I’d have told them to kiss my ASS

[Kickass Conservative]

Just had a thought, was the Puppy wearing a little NRA Sweater?

[americas.best.days...]

This owner is not smart enough to own a dog. Hope she doesn’t get another one.

Saw what you did there...

FR does not need a daily dead dog story.

We all have local dead dog, rub salt in our wounds, stories.

[grimalkin]

That owner is an idiot.

[Mears]

I clicked on the link and saw a large picture of the dead puppy————that’s it for me.

[RightGeek]

It’s a stupid place to put the dog but why did it die?

[RightGeek]

The article says no airflow, but those compartments aren’t air tight

[doorgunner69]

Stress. Small animals die from it. A puppy or kitten need a lot of reassurance.

Our cats survived a short flight in carriers at our feet without issue. They did need a lot of petting to stay calm.

And also, I think that Untied’s CA’s are like Nurse Crochet.

A French Bulldog pup with papers will set you back about five grand here in Phoenix.

Oh this is not a daily dead dog story.

This is a daily heap contempt on United Airlines story.

I’m sorry forgot to say that in the first comments.

[Jane Long]

Forget the $$$.....the death of this little pup is just sickening. 😢
