There are few travel nightmares worse than having the airlines lose your luggage, but for Josiah Allen something a lot more personal didn't make the trip home with him: his dog Paco.
"This should never, ever happen," Allen said. "It should never happen with baggage either, but a live animal."
Allen and his girlfriend had been visiting some friends in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, when they came across a stray dog on the beach. Their friends said the dog was often seen roaming around town and Allen decided to rescue the small dog, a mix of a Dachsund and a Jack Russell terrier.
He spent $95 on vaccinations for rabies, kennel cough and giardia and had the dog treated for fleas and ticks. Allen, 19, and his girlfriend bought a carrier, leash and collar and prepared to take Paco home to Canada via Detroit.
Except Paco never arrived. He's been gone for a week now.
