A passenger’s pet dog was found dead during a layover at Detroit Metropolitan Airport.

The Delta Air flight that the pup on was scheduled to travel from Phoenix to Newark, New Jersey. But Alejandro, who was an 8-year-old Pomeranian, was found dead Wednesday in his carrier at a cargo facility at the airport.

“When he landed here in Michigan, he was alive at 6:30 a.m., and then at 8:20, he wasn’t moving and it just doesn’t make any sense to me,” owner Michael Dellagrazie told WDIV-TV.

“We lost a family member. That’s exactly what happened, and somebody has to be responsible for it. He was in their care and they didn’t take care of him.”

At around 6 AM, a flight attendant on the Delta flight checked on Alejandro. But when she came back two hours later, the dog was already dead.

The Dellagrazie family is being represented by attorney Evan Oshan. He also represented the owners of a French bulldog puppy that died earlier this year after a United Airlines flight attendant ordered the dog’s carrier to be stowed in an overhead bin.

“I think this stretches beyond just pets,” Oshan told WXYZ-TV. “I think this is the way that airlines, commercial airlines in general, treat people. They are treating people horribly.”

An investigation is currently being done by Delta Air to find out what really happened on the flight.
