ABCNews.com Column: Passengers and Pets

If you are a pet lover — or hater — check out my latest column on ABCNews.com “Flying With Fido? Warnings on Pet Air Travel“. We talk about the difficulties — and occasional dangers — of having your pet travel with you by air. Did you know? 17 pets died in airline cargo holds in the first 6 months of this year. People who love their pets, often don’t want to leave them behind. But is that the best thing for the animal? Read my column, and as I always say, tell me what you think.
