Delta airlines: Now losing your pets too

Nala, the 8-year-old German shepherd that escaped from Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport three days before Christmas, was found dead Saturday by a road crew alongside I-75.

Delta Air Lines, which was transporting the dog from San Diego to its new home in Germany when Nala escaped, confirmed the discovery, saying in a statement that the dog apparently was hit by a car. A Delta spokeswoman said the airline would be donating $1,000 to Atlanta Pet Rescue in Nala's memory.
