The tragic and unnecessary demise of Kokito the French bulldog earlier this month touched Americans in their collective nerve center. We are a country that loves dogs, and word that a beloved canine died after being forced into an overhead bin on a United Airlines flight horrified us.
As protesters held a Dog In at LaGuardia Airport over the weekend, New York Sen. Marisol Alcantara presented a pet passenger Bill of Rights of sorts, called Kokitos Law.
Indeed, Kokito was wronged and United Airlines has a problem when it comes to canines surviving flights they lost 18 dogs last year but the real issue is why so many dogs are on airplanes.
