Molly needs to get from DFW to the UK
I don't know where to post this so I hope it's ok here.
A colleague of mine from the UK who lives in Dallas area was traveling on holiday back in the UK a few weeks ago and suddenly fell ill with Sepsis, died, was resuscitated, put in intensive care on life support then went into a coma. She came out of the coma after about a week and is remarkably recovering but still considered in critical condition.
To top things off, three days into her coma her life partner died of a heart attack!
Her family in the UK believes having her beloved little dog Molly with her wil help her recovery.
Molly is being cared for by friends in Dallas and is ready to fly in the cabin with all the proper paperwork and such if there is a kind soul who would be willing to escort her.
Can you help?

I'm very sorry to hear for your colleagues' troubles 
You may be advised to check however as dogs may only arrive at LHR may only do so in the hold (unless guide dogs on domestic services). This lets their paperwork be checked before they enter the UK.

I'd advise you to check carefully on the requirements as well, since it's still quite onerous to import pets into the UK.
