Traveller's carry-on bag revealed a BIG secret during security scans – can you guess what it is?

Travelling with your furry friend is a great way to see the world and bond with your pet at the same time. However, there are certain rules and regulations you have to follow when taking Fido or Fifi on an aeroplane.
For example, in Australia, only service dogs are allowed in the passenger cabin of Qantas aircrafts. All other animals and pets have to travel in a separate area where the temperature and noise are similar to that of the cabin. Virgin Australia has similar policies in place for their flights as well.
But even following these guidelines doesn’t always mean everything will go smoothly during airport security checks...
A routine security inspection at an airport in Wisconsin came across an unusual find when an X-ray uncovered a 'bag of bones' in a carry-on bag.
However, when airport security took a closer look at the passenger's handbag, it was discovered that a dog was actually inside it…
'A dog was accidentally sent through the X-ray,' the airport security said in a verified tweet on Tuesday afternoon.
The agency claimed that passengers are supposed to remove all animals from their carrying cases before sending the empty cases through the screening machine.
The TSA warns: 'When travelling with any animal, notify your airline and know their rules.'
It was not clear how the dog got into the passenger's bag.
This has happened before. Last month, a similar incident was reported after a live cat was found trapped inside a suitcase.
The cat, named Smells, received a big reward for his ordeal; once he was discovered, the staff gave him a hearty meal.
Keeping our furry friends safe while travelling is not just important, but crucial. We wholeheartedly support practices that would ensure their comfort, happiness and safety in any circumstance, including while flying. These little creatures deserve nothing but the best care and attention during travel, don't you think?
If you ever encounter a similar incident to the story above, please inform the airline staff immediately so they can ‘rescue’ the dog and ensure it is properly taken care of.
There you have it, folks! It’s a bit bizarre, isn’t it? What are your thoughts on this? Share them with us in the comments below!
