"Inaccuracies (hide comment)
Just a comment on Delta and Vivi. Vivi was lost by Delta airlines in February, not March. Although Delta offered $2,000, it was not accepted by the owners as compensation. As far as I know, Delta still denies responsibility for Vivi's lost despite a damaged crate that was fine when she was delivered to the shipping department. Vivi is still lost in NYC and was last sighted approximately 2 weeks ago. Delta has not assisted in her recovery.

"Delta "misplaced" my puppy, too! (hide comment)
I can definitely relate to this woman's pain. Delta (Dallas airport, no doubt) "misrouted" my 8 wk old/1.5 lb puppy to New Orleans instead of Norfolk. She did finally arrive - 8 hours late! I was very fortunate that she arrived at all. In sending her puppy back to TX, this lady and the Breeder were trying to do what they felt was best for the health and welfare of the dog. It may have just needed more time with its Mom. You cannot judge or fault the owner for that. Air flight for the puppies may not be what others feel is the right thing to do, but it is the quickest and a car drive would take too long. When my puppy was misrouted in Dallas, I called the Breeder and let him know the situation and told him that she would be coming in 8 hrs later than scheduled. He told me that this would cause her to be listless and dehydrated and he gave me directions on what I must do immediately to bring her back around. When she finally arrived, I did what he said and w/in 20 minutes, the dog perked right up and has been fine ever since. A good Breeder knows what the puppy needs. This decision was between the lady and the Breeder. Each of them had the puppy's best interest in mind...period. Delta screwed up here, that's the bottom line. My Breeder won't ship his pups with Delta any longer as my Puppy was the second of his to be misrouted (lost) out of Dallas/Fort Worth in a six month period.
