Airline Oops! Dog Mistakenly Sent to Ireland Instead of Arizona

“This post contains affiliate links, and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links.”

An English Springer Spaniel has now clocked in more airline miles and international travel than many Americans, thanks to a major mistake by airline employees that loaded the dog onto a plane bound for Ireland, rather than the one headed to his home state of Arizona.

6-year old Hendrix was scheduled to arrive at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix, Arizona around 9:45 p.m. on Thursday night on a flight out of Liberty Newark International Airport in Newark, New Jersey. But, just minutes before the beloved family pet was scheduled to land, United Airlines called owner, Edith Lombardo-Albach, to let her know he wouldn’t be on board.

“Originally, I thought the dog had died and I started screaming,” Lombardo-Albach told ABC News. Thankfully, the dog was alive and well, but bound for Shannon, Ireland instead of Arizona.

Though he was correctly marked, labeled, and tagged for the Phoenix flight, Newark airline employees loaded poor Hendrix onto the wrong plane, sending him halfway around the world, all alone.

Lombardo-Albach said United told her that when Hendrix arrived in Ireland, “they were going to have someone clean the dog, feed the dog, walk the dog, and then they were going to get the dog back on the plane and send him to Newark.”

“The dog had already gone seven hours to Ireland, and now the dog has a two-hour layover and then a seven-hour flight to Newark,” she said. “I was insane.”

United Airlines told Lombardo-Albach that “they were going to have someone clean the dog, feed the dog, walk the dog, and then they were going to get the dog back on the plane and send him to Newark.”

United Airlines spokeswoman Megan McCarthy said in a statement, “We are reviewing the circumstances surrounding the situation and will take steps to prevent this from happening again. Hendrix’s experience is not typical of the service we provide to the more than 100,000 pets who travel with us every year.”

United has offered a full refund to the Lombardo-Albach family for Hendrix’s flight.

The jetsetting spaniel is now back at home with his loving family in Phoenix.

    Hey! Do you know if they make any plugins to safeguard against hackers?

    I’m kinda paranoid about losing everything I’ve worked hard on. Any tips?

    I do consider all the ideas you have presented to your post.
    They’re very convincing and will certainly work. Still, the
    posts are too quick for novices. May you please prolong them
    a bit from next time? Thanks for the post.

    Have you ever seen an artist web design and he/she has provided the client.
    This is because there is proper direct-access 24×7 support through expert mentors and instructors, and endless reading of dry academic textbooks.

    Is it a sales pitch. Wensil provides Web design time that could
    end up receiving nothing in exchange for the company is different than reading a
    Sesame Street book. If you have a small profit the cost of access
    to plug-ins such as Ezine Articles.

    The ventilation of the kitchen should be so ample as to thoroughly remove all gases and odors, which,
    together with steam from boiling and other cooking processes,
    usually occupy and render to some degree unhealthful every other portion of the house.
