This Is All Kinds Of Wrong of the Day: A former baggage handler at Reno-Tahoe International Airport says she was fired from her job because she refused to load a bloodied, emaciated hunting dog onto an airplane.

“The Transportation Safety Authority officers couldn’t even get the dog to stand up to be X-rayed,” says Lynn Jones, who was employed by Airport Terminal Services, a contractor in charge of operating the airport’s cargo area.

She says everyone who saw the pointer noted its bloody paws and sore-covered body. “The dog was so weak and torn up,” Jones told the Reno Gazette-Journal. “It didn’t look like it could survive the flight.”

According to shipping documents, the pointer is owned by a Texas-based hunter who regularly ships the dog to his hunting spots, and keeps it locked in a kennel when not in use.

Her now-former supervisor allegedly told her to load the dog onto the plane anyway, since the paperwork was in order. She says she was told to quit concerning herself with the dog’s condition or risk losing her job.

“I was crying,” she told the paper. “I kept saying that dog could not be put on a plane.”

Her supervisor eventually told to go home. However, the company later claimed she had “abandoned” her post, and was therefore terminated. “I didn’t abandon anything; I was told to leave,” she insists.

The Gazette-Journal was unable to obtain specific information and photos related to the incident due to the recently passed Cooney’s Law, but Krys Bart, CEO of the Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority and board member of the Nevada Humane Society, told the publication she was “thoroughly disgusted over what I understand to be the situation this animal was put in.”

Airport Police ultimately stepped in and turned the animal over to the Washoe County Regional Animal Services, where it was cared for until it was well enough to be shipped back to Texas.

Though officials were unable to release the related incident report, unidentified airport employees told the Gazette-Journal “they were sickened by its condition.”

Jones is currently looking for another job. She says she loved her job at the airport, but “just couldn’t turn my back on that dog.”

“My supervisor said it wasn’t my concern,” Jones said, surrounded by her three dogs, three cats and pet bird. “But animal abuse is everyone’s concern who sees it.”

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS SPECIAL-NEEDS DOG?

A SPECIAL-NEEDS CANINE HAS BEEN MISSING FOR FIVE DAYS.

Chilly Dog, a pit bull, was found frozen in a snow bank with no vital signs five years ago when he was a puppy. A veterinarian was able to revive him, but he suffered brain damage. Chilly Dog is a special-needs canine, and he has been missing since Wednesday.

Have you seen this dog?

Owners Kathy and Tom Soul of White Hall, MD are frantic.

The Souls have been rescuing and rehabilitating pit bulls for a long time, and they didn’t turn away from fostering Chilly Dog (Chilly for short).

Chilly’s strange behaviors resulting from brain damage didn’t faze the Souls, but his quirks did make it difficult to place him in a forever home.

“We found him a home, but his special needs made it impossible for the family to deal with him,” Kathy said. “He has odd behaviors, like drinking huge amounts of water and urinating huge amounts of urine. He pees in his crate every day even though he’s potty trained and knows how to go outside. He spins to the right when he’s anxious. He never goes left. It took him two years before he would let me pet him. He’s afraid of being touched.”

So the Souls kept him, and loved him. Chilly is now about 6 years old.

“Sometimes we end up keeping the un-adoptables like Chilly, because we know we’re the only people who can deal with them,” Kathy said.

But a few days ago, Chilly vanished on the Northern Central Railroad Trail on Weisburg and White Hall roads, in Baltimore County. The Souls not only put up signs all over the area, they also employed a tracking dog to try to follow Chilly’s scent. The tracking dog followed the scent from the Souls’ property, to their next-door neighbor’s property, to the White Hall post office and then north on the trail.

That’s where the scent trail ended.

“We’re thinking since there haven’t been any sightings, and the tracking dog lost his scent on Weisburg Road, someone may have taken him by car,” Kathy said. “Our hope is that after spending a few days with him, they’ll realize he’s too difficult to handle and they’ll drop him off at a shelter.”

The trail gets heavy use from hikers, joggers, bicyclists and even horseback riders from all over the county. The trail, recently renamed the Torrey C. Brown Trail, “extends 20 miles, stretching from Ashland Road in the Hunt Valley area to the state line,” according to the Department of Natural Resources website.

And it’s popular.

Chilly could have been taken by someone well-meaning from any nearby area—Lutherville-Timonium, Pikesville, Hunt Valley, Towson and even Baltimore City. The animal shelters and veterinarians in all these areas have been notified about Chilly, as have vets and shelters up into Harford County and Pennsylvania.

“We’re both walking around like zombies,” Kathy said. “It’s a terrible feeling, not knowing. He’s a special-needs kid and we need him home.”

After the hurricane, the signs for Chilly all came down, and the Souls went right out and put more up. It wasn’t an easy storm to weather for the Souls—Chilly is scared of the rain.

“Chilly is terrified of thunderstorms and bad weather,” Kathy said. “Rain makes him panic. We’re absolutely sick about it. We haven’t slept since he went missing.”

Chilly is a neutered, microchipped pit bull, on the small, stocky side. He is white with gray spots (see photo). His right ear goes up, and his left goes down. He has on a blue collar with an ID tag. He’s always anxious, obsessed with food and water, and barks at shadows.

“He will come if you shake a bowl of food or squeak a toy,” said Kathy. “He’s gentle, harmless and afraid. He’s just an odd little fellow and we want him to come home safely.”

Kathy and Tom can be reached at 410-905-5603 or 410-357-8389.
