Globe/CP say WestJet apologizes for losing dog

2017-04-24 09:09 ET - In the News

The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday edition that an East Coast dog that went missing in Ontario for nearly two days after being placed on a wrong flight has been found. A Canadian Press dispatch to The Globe says that the dog's owners say Cooper -- a golden Labradoodle -- was supposed to be flown on a WestJet flight from Halifax to Deer Lake, Nfld., on Wednesday to stay with family while they headed to Jamaica for a wedding. The dog was somehow placed on a flight to Hamilton instead and broke away at the airport when an employee took it outside for a bathroom break. WestJet apologized for the mishap and flew the dog's owners to Hamilton on Thursday where they joined a search for Cooper. That search lasted more than 24 hours until the dog was spotted Friday morning. The dog was wet, dirty and hungry, but otherwise healthy. Searchers scoured the fields near the Hamilton airport and had help from two pet rescue groups, Healing Hearts and the Dream Team, that had joined the search and helped set up traps with food inside. A spokesman for WestJet said the airline has offered to pay Cooper's vet bill and will work on getting the dog and his owners back home.
