TSA Makes Shocking Discovery Inside Suitcase at LaGuardia

The Transportation Security Administration found a beige and brown chihuahua inside a hard-sided suitcase at New York's LaGuardia airport, according to ABC News.

The owner of the suitcase was soon found, and the woman said she had no idea her dog had crawled into her luggage. She suspected it snuck in while she was packing, and she didn't notice it when she zipped up her bag.

#TSATravelTips - Ay, #Chihuahua! It’s always important to double check your bags before traveling, especially to make sure your Chihuahua hasn’t stowed away inside one of them. That’s exactly what happened this week at #NewYork’s #LaGuardia (#LGA) Airport. While resolving a checked baggage alarm, an officer was shocked when he found a dog in the bag! Apparently, the dog climbed in while its owner was packing her suitcase. TSA worked with the airline to identify the owner, and the two were happily reunited. #DogsOfInstagram #TSAGoodCatch
