Air Canada Pilot Diverts Plane To Save Dog’s Life

by pawbuzz on in Dogs 96

An Air Canada pilot is being credited with saving a dog’s life by diverting a flight from Tel Aviv to Toronto after a heating system malfunction in the plane’s cargo area.

The seven-year-old French bulldog named Simba was taking its first flight when the pilot noticed the problem just as the plane was about to head over the Atlantic Ocean, where temperatures plummet.

With the dog’s well-being in peril the pilot decided to land the plane in Frankfurt, Germany.

    The owner said “It’s my dog, it’s like my child. It’s everything to me”. If that was true, why was it traveling in the cargo hold? Would they place their human child in the cargo hold? Frenchies and other snub-nosed dogs should NEVER fly in the cargo hold. Although the pilot did the right thing, the dog should have been traveling in the passenger compartment in there first place.
