What type of bag was this dog in?
Apparently there was turbulence and no one was allowed out of their seats for the duration of the flight.

The cargo hold is really, really bad for animals.

She paid the extra money to have the dog in a carrier and stow it under the seat. The flight attendant apparently refused to allow her to do so.
Yep, got that, but what I am saying is I wouldn't have stuffed my dog in the overhead compartment, just like I wouldn't stuff a kid up there. It's a living breathing creature if I loved it that much that I wouldn't want to fly without it, I most sure wouldn't put it any place I couldn't look or check on it regularly.
In short this was just a terrible accident and I think it has a lot more to do with people insisting on flying with animals under this notion they love it so much. If that's true just like a human child would you stick it in the overhead compartment because someone told you to?

This is what I've heard: the owners did get it under the seat but barely and the flight attendant said it is suppose to go up above which is at the fault of the attendant and therefore the airlines. I have also heard that there is a set dimensions that were meant for pet carriages which the owner did not follow therefore she was wrong. I think the flight attendant needs to be fired, the airlines pay a good amount to the pet owner, and make sure this doesn't happen again.
