New Airline Is the First to Cater to Dogs and Cats
Who wants to stick their animal in cargo? It's dark, scary, and while it's rare, dogs can and do die there. So what to do? Well, you might want to give Pet Airways a try.

Traveling with Pets: Airlines With the Most Dog Deaths
Presumably, the larger the airline, the more likely is to have incidents of problems transporting pets. But that's not the case. Delta, the world's largest airline, transports 65.2 million domestic passengers a year and had 43 lost, injured or killed dogs during the DOT survey. Continental, which flies half as many people -- 31.5 million -- had 58 incidents. Then there is US Airways. That airline flies 44 million people a year domestically but only lost, injured or killed three dogs past four-and-a-half years.

Dog Breeds Most Likely to Die on Flights
Overall, at least 122 dog deaths were reported since May 2005, when U.S. airlines were required to start disclosing them, the Transportation Department says. The dogs died while being shipped as cargo. English bulldogs account for the single highest number of deaths among the 108 purebreds on the list: 25. Pugs were next, with 11 deaths, followed by golden retrievers and labradors, with seven deaths each, French bulldogs with six, and American Staffordshire terriers, four. Boxers, cockapoos, Pekingese and Pomeranians accounted for two deaths each.
