Airline leaves dog on runway in the rain

Picture of soaking animal sparks outrage across social media

United Airlines has earned the ire of animal lovers the world over after a picture was tweeted of a dog stranded on a runway in the pouring rain.


Twitter user @theregoesbabs claimed that she sat on her plane and looked on as the animal was left in its carrier on the wet runway for over half an hour, despite staff having been alerted. The picture has since been retweeted over a thousand times.
United Airlines responded quickly and shifted blame for the overlooked pooch onto its (apparently erroneously named) PetSafe program, which is responsible for airport-to-airport delivery of animals.


It’s unclear how quickly the situation was resolved, but it wasn’t long before Australian pop singer Sia got involved to declare that she will be boycotting the airline in future.


The singer’s retweet of the picture received over four thousand retweets by itself. We hope the dog made it back safely to its owner and is currently curled up in front of a fire dreaming about sausages. Or whatever dogs dream about.

The climate is comfortable in the dry winter months of May well, June, July and August. Daytime temperatures are mild and the nights get a small cool.” Hunting for somewhere to stay? Nicely, how numerous trips have you had the likelihood to sleep in a hut? Properly you can do it in Kruger, check out these good possibilities right here. Or if you’re one of those snooty forms, you can upgrade to a bungalow. Oh yeah, now you’re living the lif

Tips for Swimming in the Dead Sea

Floating in the Dead Sea is the kind of experiences you might have only once in your life. (Or is it?) After swimming in the Dead Sea not once, but four times, I feel like I tried different beaches and I now know where the best one is. In this post, you’ll find my top Dead Sea tips to help you plan an epic Dead Sea trip.   What exactly is the Dead Sea?     The Dead Sea is known to be the lowest point on earth and got its popularity with its unusual properties. The water is so salty over there that it makes you float without efforts. This also means that there isn’t anything that can live in this water (although, they did find some kind of bacterias that can survive in the water). A lot of people decide to visit the Dead Sea while in Israel or Jordan so they can benefit from the salty water. It could help people with skin conditions by making your skin healthier. We call it a sea, but it actually is a big salty lake.   Where is the Dead Sea?   The Dead Sea is located between
