Pedigree dogs die on India flight

The owner of two pedigree dogs that died on a Jet Airways flight in India has threatened to sue the airline for alleged negligence.
Rajendra Tandon flew with his pet pugs Batnu and Jimmy from Mumbai (Bombay) to Delhi on Saturday afternoon.
On arrival, he was told by the private airline that the dogs had died because of a "lack of oxygen".
The airline has denied the charges of negligence. A spokeswoman said they regretted the incident.
"I gave them two healthy and happy pugs and they returned me two dead ones," the Times of India newspaper quoted Mr Tandon as saying.
A spokeswoman for Jet Airways denied the charge.
"We carry live animals on our flights regularly. We make our cargo hold suitable for them with the right air pressure," Sriroopa Sen told the BBC.
"I don't know what caused the deaths, we regret the incident," she said.
