Bruno update: No one knows anything. Sent friend to Varadero airport; staff there say he left. Possible he was put on TO flight mistakenly.

Hi @wicary, we searched the baggage area with Cubana’s ground handlers. Unfortunately, there is no dog that matches Bruno’s description. 1/2

So Bruno has been in his crate for more than 16 hours now. If he's not @TorontoPearson, then someone in Varadero is lying. 4/

We feel helpless, powerless and heartbroken. And sickened by the failings in the air transit system that have allowed this to happen. 6/6

NEWS: Bruno is in Santa Clara. He was in fact on the flight to Montreal, but wasn’t taken off because of flat-out incompetence. 1/

Bruno will be apparently arriving in Montreal at 4 pm today. He has been given water but they don’t want to walk him for fear he’ll bolt. 2/

ADDENDUM: @aeroportsmtl, you'll be receiving a complaint about a baggage reps who allowed our dog to be left on plan and sent back to Cuba.

As someone whose cats once spent more than 45 hours in transit (instead of 22) due to an airport handling error, I know how @wicary feels.

Man, @wicary's experiences are distressing for anyone who's ever flown with a pet. Forgotten in cargo and then SENT BACK?

I'm never letting a pet fly after hearing what @wicary is going through.
