'I was like, 'You let me travel with the dog to Romania. You don't allow me to travel with the dog back to the U.S.?'' said Coconut's owner when Lufthansa sent an alert warning that no pets would be able to fly for weeks.
"I was like, 'You let me travel with the dog to Romania. You don't allow me to travel with the dog back to the U.S.?'" said Coconut's owner when Lufthansa sent an alert warning that no pets would be able to fly for weeks.When you take a flight, you expect the airline will also fly you back home. But it didn't happen for one furry passenger -- a service dog and beloved family pet who nearly got stuck overseas.
"It was really stressful for me to think he's not coming back home," she said of her ordeal. "I told my husband I'm 100% sure God sent me this dog because I needed him."Coconut became more than a beloved family member, eager companion and cuddly pet -- Burdeti says he saved her life."I had days that I wouldn't move from the bed, and I wasn't feeling well. He was by my side 24/7. He would sit by my bed the whole day," Burdeti said.
"Coconut was really happy. He really enjoyed the freedom in Romania. He was running in a field," Burdeti said.
