Pets are part of the family. Poor Paco.

Shame on DL for only offering a credit in the amount of the pet transportation charges. That is absurd. I like the comment, that I thought of when reading his story, to ask DL to return the empty pet carrier if indeed the dog "escaped."
He will end up getting a lot more cash than $200 when this is over (my prediction).

Happens often it seams.

If we take the key stat as dead+lost (assuming the lost are not later found) then we have over the last 5 years:
CO/UL 54 dead / 7 lost
DL/NW 21 dead / 14 lost
AMR 29 dead / 7 lost
Southwest is perfect as they do not allow checked pets.
Most of the smaller airlines look worse on a rpm (revenue pet mile) basis.
If you look at individual case reports (same link) you can see Delta does report some to the FAA as "the kennel did not arrive" "theft a possibility". Try back in a few months and you should find that particular report.

From the URL: US 1 death, 1 injury, 1 lost
So US must make exceptions sometimes.
