A young dog was found dumped outside an airport in America after a traveller was banned from flying with her. The "incredibly sweet" one-year-old puppy, later named Allie by rescuers, was tied up in front of Des Moines International Airport in Iowa, US, last Thursday and rescued by Animal Rescue League.
Airport staff told the animal welfare charity that a traveller - presumed to be the dog's owner - had been stopped from taking the pup on the plane because they didn't have a carrier. The person left the airport with the puppy then returned alone to board the flight, leaving the pooch tied up outdoors.
