Calgary dog owner concerned about airline pet safety after pup left on tarmac in 30 degree heat

CA, 25 Aug 2022
Calgary dog owner Jenna Richardson-Prager is voicing concerns after her pup Cleo was left on the tarmac of Halifax’s airport for about 30 minutes in 30-degree heat.

Richardson-Prager said the pair were set to fly out from Halifax’s airport to Calgary this past Saturday when she checked six-year-old Cleo in. She said about an hour before the flight, she looked out the window of the airport and there was Cleo — sitting in her cage on the tarmac with two other dogs — while crews unloaded the previous flight.

She said she went to talk to WestJet — three separate times — to express her concerns, but she was told each time that everything was alright. Tomasia DaSilva reports.
