Flight Diverted Due to Dog Incident on Board

The cleanup required extensive efforts, causing discomfort and raising concerns over pet policies.

A United Airlines flight from Houston to Seattle was diverted to Dallas on Friday after a dog defecated in the aisle, causing a significant disruption.
The incident required the ground crew to spend over two hours cleaning the carpets with paper towels, and the first-class toilet was declared unusable due to the mess.
Passengers and crew were distressed by the lingering smell, which never fully dissipated, leading to complaints and discomfort throughout the flight.
The event has sparked discussions on social media and among passengers regarding the policies for pets on flights, with many advocating for stricter regulations.
This is not the first instance of an animal causing a diversion on a United Airlines flight this year, raising questions about the airline's pet policies.
