THE FRIENDLY SKIES — United has been on quite the tear when it comes to animal related incidents. <br /><br />Last Thursday, United Flight 3996 from Newark to St. Louis actually had to be diverted because the geniuses found a dog was accidentally aboard the plane, according to USA Today. <br />The four-legged flier was supposed to be in Akron, Ohio, but was put on the wrong flight, airline spokeswoman Maggie Schmerin told CNN. <br /><br />The plane actually had to take a extra two hour detour to drop the pup off to its owners. <br />United's blunder made a two-hour trip into a four-hour escapade for passengers, who were apparently compensated for the delay — hopefully not with a free United flight. <br />Last week wasn't the best for United in terms of animal customer service. They suffocated a lady's French bulldog puppy and sent another dog to Japan instead of Kansas. <br /><br />United needs to seriously consider only carrying pets from now on. What could go wrong?
