Cargo door left open: Dog escapes from 737
According to this article the cargo door of a 737 operated by Blue Air (flight from Rome to Bucharest) was left open with a dog in the cargo bay. (not a stray dog, it was travelling as cargo)
The 737 started taxiing WITH ITS CARGO DOOR STILL OPENED, the dog escapes, and its owner, who was looking through the window from the cabin, sees his own dog run away from the plane!
Eventually he is caught and all is well...
--How is it possible that a 737 departs with its cargo hold still opened???

Surely a dog wouldn't just be stuck in the cargo bay, and left to have a free run of the place.
Wouldn't it have to be put in an approved travel crate?

Exactly 419, the dog would have to be in an approved carrier, so are we to believe the dog escaped from both the carrier and the aircraft seems somewhat unlikely.

Babelfish:
According to one first reconstruction, initially the dog had been put in a not consistent cage, whose closing was entrusted to the adhesive tape, for being carried like baggage by hand. But inasmuch as the company does not admit animals to edge, the volpino it had been subsequently transferred in the space baggages.
