Dog Dies On United Flight After Being Stowed In Overhead Bin

A little dog died on a United Airlines flight after an attendant forced the animal’s owner to put the pet in the cabin’s overhead bin, and the airline said on Tuesday it was taking full responsibility. On United Flight 1284 from Houston to New York on Monday, a woman who was flying with children and a small dog was pressured by a flight attendant to put her dog in overhead storage during the 3-1/2 hour flight. According to fellow passenger Maggie Gremminger, the woman wanted to keep the dog, which was in a small carrying bag, under her seat, but the flight attendant insisted that she put the animal overhead.
