An 8-year-old Pomeranian was found dead during a layover near Detroit, Mich., on Wednesday after the dog was on a Delta Air Lines flight en route to New Jersey, his owners and the airline said. Alejandro was found dead in his crate in the cargo facility at Detroit Metropolitan Airport, southwest of Detroit in Romulus. Michael Dellegrazie, the owner, said the dog was alive when the flight from Phoenix, Ariz., landed at the airport around 6:30 a.m. Wednesday for a scheduled layover. A Delta Air Lines spokesman told Fox News the dog was seen in good health after the flight and brought to the staging area. A flight attendant told the owner to put him in the overhead bin rather than under the seat.
