  • First, it was birds on the runway at JFK. Now it’s Birdie at LaGuardia, a beautiful brown 30-pound Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy who made a break from her cage while being loaded on a Delta flight from New York to Memphis.
  • Did you see any animals around there?
  • She just did not want to go, shutting down the tarmac, delaying flights.
  • Is there a drag running around like crazy?
  • For ten minutes, Birdie would not be moved. Finally coaxed into the cargo hold as passengers aboard the plane tweeted: Dog on runway at LaGuardia causes mayhem (chaos). Passengers were not allowed to deplane. Birdie and her owner finally made it to Memphis.
  • Dog okay?
  • Yeah, she’s okay. She’s good. She’s healthy.
