Well, again I have been neglecting my Powder Puffington Post duties but my mom made me watch "Julie/Julia" tonight so again I am inspired by the art of blogging and by the many stories out there concerning animals. We have one bittersweet story today about a puppy and how he was saved from nearly freezing to death from a flight he was on from Mexico City to JFK.
The puppy was found nearly frozen to death in the cargo of the jet aircraft that he flew in. The customs officer who luckily also happens to be studying to be a vet found the pup and performed mouth to mouth resuscitation on the pup and saved his life. What a hero!! After wrapping the pup in a heating pads and blankets he came back to life. The pup was only six weeks old, unfortunately his little brother did not share the same fate as he was found frozen to death in the same kennel hence the bittersweet aspect of this story. RIP little bro!
Usually the airlines do not fly animals in the cargo bay at extreme hot and cold temperatures so this case is especially sad as they should have not been allowed to fly in the cargo bay in the first place. As you can see from the image, the pup is especially small and fragile.
I have flown many times but never in the cargo bay and I know my mother would never let me fly in the cargo bay as I would not be able to handle the cold (remember I have hair not fur). One day hopefully Pet Airways will be an international airline and pets could fly in safety and comfort as they deserve to.
Good to be back writing inspirational, informative stories for the canine world again!
Chow for now!
