Remember that, for some of us, pets are members of the family.

I'm really upset by your post.
Yes I'm serious. I didn't say it was not awful for the OP to have the dog die. Did you read what I was replying to? Someone (not me) wrote this:
There should NOT be a risk of having the animal die, that is not part of transportation of an animal.
Sorry, but in life everything is a risk. Transporting a dog in the hold of an airplane is a risk. It is even more of a risk on a hot summer day. I think craz is spot on about five posts up. Please don't accuse me of being uncaring.
