Owners: Delta Lost Multiple Westminster Show Dogs On Flight

Feb. 25, 2015
Owners were given a choice of flying home without their dogs or waiting for a flight the next day.

SEATTLE — The owners of several dogs returning from the Westminster Dog Show in New York say Delta Airlines lost their animals at JFK Airport, KOMO reported.

The dogs eventually made it home, but not without a lot of confusion and work.

Lindsay Gorder and Paris, her standard poodle, were set to fly back to Seattle following the dog show last week. But Gorder became concerned when she didn’t see Paris being loaded onto the aircraft.

Gorder said flight attendants assured her that she was mistaken – until four other people on board said they were owners of Westminster dogs, and hadn’t seen their animals, either.

“We just wanted to establish that our dogs where still on there, that’s all we wanted to do,” said Lindsay’s husband Greg. “They couldn’t do it, wouldn’t do it.”
