United Airlines has apologized for mistakenly shipping an American family's pet dog thousands of miles in the wrong direction to Japan. The dog owner's beloved 10-year-old dog named Buddy took an unexpected 16-hour flight to Tokyo following a mix-up by the airline.
The dog owner's family are currently in the process of moving. They were meant to be reunited with the pet in their new home city in Texas. But when they arrived at the United Airlines cargo facility in the southern U.S. state, they found a stranger's dog waiting in Buddy's place.  1  Both of the dogs had been sent to the wrong destinations on connecting flights from Denver, with Buddy mistakenly being sent to Japan instead. Buddy was given a physical checkup when he arrived at Tokyo's International Airport. The dog was then sent back to the U.S. on a private charter jet. “I'm so glad he's alive and coming home soon,” said the relieved dog owner.
“An error occurred during the connections in Denver. We have notified our customers that their pets arrived safely.  2  We will arrange to return the pets to them as soon as possible,” a spokesperson of United Airlines said.

美国联合航空公司错将一家美国人的宠物狗运到了数千英里外错误方向的日本，该公司现已为此事道歉。由于航空公司的失误，宠物狗主人这条10岁的名叫巴迪的爱犬出人意料地乘坐了16个小时的飞机去了东京。
狗主人的全家目前正在搬迁。他们本应该在得克萨斯州新安家的城市与宠物团聚。但当他们到达这个美国南部州的联合航空公司货运站时，发现一条陌生人的狗正在巴迪的位置等着。 1  这两条狗都是在丹佛转机时被送往了错误的目的地，而巴迪被错误地送到了日本。巴迪在抵达东京国际机场时接受了一次体检。它随后坐私人包机被送回美国。狗主人如释重负地说：“我很高兴它还活着，而且很快就能回家了。
美国联合航空公司的一位发言人说：“丹佛的转机过程出了差错。我们已通知顾客，他们的宠物已安全抵达。 2  我们将尽快安排将宠物送还给他们。
