Woman's dog gets squished by Delta

WARNING: THIS STORY IS NOT FOR ANIMAL LOVERS, SQUEAMISH, OR THE FAINT OF HEART. An Auburn, New Hampshire woman was on her way to Logan Airport in Boston on Saturday to pick up a new puppy, when she received a call from Delta Air Lines that the pooch had been accidentally crushed to death in Atlanta. Her new $800 West Highland Terrier was being shipped by the airline from a breeder in Arkansas when the accident took place at the dog's connecting city of Atlanta. That's where a ramp rat placed the dogs crate on the apron next to a vehicle being used to load an airplane. The vehicle somehow moved, and well, I think you get the idea from the picture. The puppy's would be owner wants Delta to hold the ramper responsible and wants the airline to review its animal handling policies stating. "I just don't want this puppy to die in vain." Delta is investigating the incident.
