Dog that was supposed to be heading to Phoenix accidentally gets shipped to Dublin

Phoenix bound dog accidently gets sent to Ireland

It was dog, gone.

That's what happened to an English Springer Spaniel named "Hendrix" who was scheduled to fly from Newark to Phoenix this week and was put on the wrong flight -- to Ireland.

Six-year-old Hendrix was traveling in cargo on United Airlines on Thursday when he was put on the wrong flight, United spokeswoman Megan McCarthy said Friday.
