SA family emigrating lose their dog on the plane to France...
The dog's name is Jack Sparrow and don't stress it's a happy ending...
Traveling with pets can be just as stressful if not more than traveling with kids.
But the difference is that our pets are not given the same travel amenities that we are as humans.
Animals have to travel in a completely different part of the plane, in this case, it was the cargo hold.
A couple that were relocating to France waited at the Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris for their beloved dog.
After checking in with the airline, which was Ethiopian Airlines, they were not receiving any information.
The family then tweeted about it to try and get some help.
Jack flew yesterday from Cape Town on flight ET 846 to Addis Ababa to connect with flight ET 734 to Paris. He never arrived. @flyethiopian is not answering as to his whereabouts. Retweet and retweet pls until we find Jack. @Just_A_Driver24 @alfred_cabonena @BradvB4 pic.twitter.com/Ls4CKeNwPs

After some time they found Jack Sparrow, and the family tweeted the report that was provided to them by the airline.
The report read that Jack was forgotten in the cargo hold, and that this should not happen again...
This should not have happened in the first place!

After much searching and phoning poor Jack was eventually found at Charles de Gaul Airport, Paris. He spent the whole day in the hold on the plane. @Just_A_Driver24 check the report. pic.twitter.com/W2Iak1VFqQ

Luckily, Jack is fine but still this is something to learn from.
Can people not be responsible to realise that animals are living creatures who need love and attention too?!
We hope that this never happens again...
