According to Gol, Joca received treatment in Fortaleza before boarding again for São Paulo but He died upon arriving at the airport where his owner was waiting for him. who held the airline responsible for the “murder.”
The owner, João Fantazzini, said in an interview with the Globo network that Joca spent an hour and a half on the landing strip at the Fortaleza airport, locked in the cage, without eating and in about 36 degrees of temperature.
The golden retriever was Fantazzini's support to overcome depression during the pandemic. In the interview given to TV Globo, Fantazzini stated that he has a veterinary certificate indicating that the dog can withstand a trip of no more than two and a half hours and stated that the airline has not been responsible for the case.
“I have always seen messages about dogs dying in this situation, but I never expected it. What hurts me the most is knowing that I was suffering inside,” he said.
Gol, in turn, said he “deeply” regretted the death of the dog, and announced that it was suspending the transportation of pets for a month to investigate the incidentwhich he attributed to an “operational failure.”
