The dog, Larry, went missing after the Air Canada flight he was booked on was canceled. Although his owner provided the airline with strict instructions not to let the dog out of his crate, that is exactly what one worker did.

Air Canada said one of its employees took Larry for a walk, but Larry seized the opportunity to escape. When a local California news station approached Air Canada with questions, they received an email from a spokesman that Larry's owner described as " extremely cold and very callous."

It read:

I think I would just ignore, it is local news doing a story on a lost dog. Their entire government is shut down and about to default and this is how the US media spends its time.



The email was intended for an Air Canada colleague. Air Canada continues to search for the missing Larry.
