I was horrified to read this story this morning, and in mental anguish over the pup’s suffering. I would never have followed the flight attendant’s stupid order, even if I had to take a later flight. There is not enough circulating air in an overhead bin, especially for a flat-faced bulldog breed. This flight attendant is lying and should be sued for a very high amount of money. And, United should be sued as well, for giving authority to imbeciles like this flight attendant. Why couldn’t they have shoved the carrier under a seat? I’ve done that while flying with a kitten. Or, if there wasn’t room, flight attendants equipped with brains offer to put the carrier back by the kitchen. This puppy did not have to die, and French bulldogs are very expensive.

I agree with every word in your post, and I will attempt never to fly United again unless ther is absolutely no alternative.
