The family whose Pomeranian died while traveling with Delta accused the airline of trying to cover up the dog’s bloody death.
Michael Dellegrazie said his pup named Alejandro was found dead last Wednesday in his carrier, along with a bloody blanket during a layover at Detroit Metropolitan Airport, news station WDIV reported.
An attorney for the owner suggested someone tried to wash the dog blanket and carrier to get rid of evidence.
“It was wet,” lawyer Evan Oshan told the Associated Press. “They couldn’t get the blood stains out. There was an attempt to clean it.”
Oshan said that the dog traveled in cargo on the flight headed to Newark, New Jersey, from Phoenix. The dog was alive when the plane landed in Detroit for a layover, according to WDIV.
Nearly two hours later, the dog was discovered dead in his carrier at an airport cargo facility.

It’s only a four hour or so flight nonstop, Phoenix to Newark? But they had a layover. Up and down, up and down is hard on a person too. You can’t haul a living being around like luggage and expect the dog not to get a little sick, especially if the dog was an older dog. The ‘family’ must bear some of the responsibility.
