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 US state, they found a stranger's dog waiting in Buddy's place.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 check-up when he arrived at Tokyo's International Airport. The dog was then sent back to the US on a private chartered 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. We will arrange to return the pens to them as soon as possible,"a spokesperson of United Airlines said.
