A dog died on a United Airlines flight Monday after being placed in an overhead bin, the airline confirmed to ABC News.
In a Facebook post, a fellow passenger said a mother and her two daughters were boarding the flight with their dog in tow when a flight attendant “insisted” that the dog be placed in the overhead bin.
They assured the safety of the family’s pet so wearily, the mother agreed,” passenger June Lara wrote.
The dog remained in the bin for the three-hour flight and was not given any water, according to Lara.
Upon landing, Lara said the dog was unresponsive
