CHICAGO (KSDK) – A dog stranded for two weeks in Germany is finally back in the states.
Joey and his caretaker landed in Chicago Wednesday afternoon.They were planning on driving home to St. Louis Wednesday night.
John MacEnulty IV reached out to 5 On Your Side on March 23 and said a company working with Lufthansa Airlines took his dog off a flight.
MacEnulty paid 1500 euros for his family’s dog and cat to fly back from Germany to St. Louis for his mother’s memorial service. The cat made it, but their beloved dog Joey did not.
The family says a veterinarian cleared the dog to fly, and about 45 minutes later he was unable to fly.
MacEnulty says Joey had a scratch on his nose and the vet believed that was enough of a ‘danger’ for the dog to not travel.
Now, almost two weeks after Joey was left overseas, he is back stateside.
