A Texas couple named Jared and Kristi Owens were flying to Las Vegas for a weekend getaway earlier this month. Everything was going smoothly until they went to check their bags, and one of them was five pounds over the limit.
They opened it up to see if they could rearrange some things, and there . . . inside the suitcase . . . was their DOG!!! She’s a Chihuahua named Icky.
They were shocked and didn’t know what to do. But a Southwest Airlines agent named Cathy Cook volunteered to babysit Icky for them until they got back. And they took her up on the offer.
Thankfully this isn’t a tragic story of poor Icky’s demise but HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN?!?!?! I have a few more questions! How did they leave their house and not notice that poor little Icky was nowhere to be found? What was their plan to do with Icky while they were gone? Surely they should have realized that Icky was not around and were they just expecting to leave without any concerns for the dog while they were gone?? I am just hoping that maybe they had a pet sitter / house sitter or something arranged to care for the dog. The article from a local TV station makes no mention of it but click the link below to see and read more on the story!
