Flying Bulldogs Get to Heaven Faster

From the U.S. Department of Transportation comes a press release noting that:

“Short-faced” dog breeds such as pugs and bulldogs represent about half of the dogs that die while being transported by their owners as cargo, a significantly higher rate of mortality than for other dog breeds, according to data compiled by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT).


Some airlines forbid short-snouted breeds from flying as cargo during the hot months.
