jkgourmet Posted February 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Gracias for posting the article, Jeanette. I guess this means that Bunker, our Boston/pug mix, will have a LONG car ride in his future! Well, that depends. Not ALL airlines have changed their policies - yet. And if you can fit Bunker under the seat, the option of taking him as carry on is still available. The most important point I wanted to get across is that the statistics indicate that these snub-nosed pets (remember, it applies to dogs AND cats) have 2X the risk of death when they travel as cargo. Something to seriously consider if you own one of those breeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
