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 boardedย United Flight 1284, from Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport toย New York‘s LaGuardia, on Monday, with her puppy, called Papacito, in its carrier.

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

No way: She claimed the flight attendant wanted her to put the pup in his carrier in the overhead bin, an 'absurd and ridiculous request', citing the recent case of Kokito the French Bulldog, who suffocated in the same spot on a United flight earlier this yearย 

The flight attendants of flight UA1284 felt that the innocent animal was better off crammed inside the overhead container without air and water,’ he wrote on Facebook

‘They INSISTED that the puppy be locked up for three hours without any kind of airflow. They assured the safety of the family’s pet so wearily, the mother agreed.’
