United again in doghouse

- Jessica Schladebec­k

UNITED AIRLINES is having a ruff time.

Days after it accidental­ly sent a German shepherd to Japan — and in the same week a French bulldog died during its flight to New York — United Airlines on Friday admitted it again mishandled a passenger’s furry companion.

A flight from Newark to St. Louis was diverted Friday after the airline realized a dog was “mistakenly” loaded onto the plane, the airlines said in a statement obtained by ABC News.

The dog, which had been packed into a carrier, was dropped off in Akron, Ohio, and reunited with its owner.

United offered compensati­on to all of its customers aboard the diverted flight.
