FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - American Airlines says seven puppies died after being put on an American jet from Tulsa, Okla., to Chicago.
The Fort Worth-based airline says it contacted the shipper who put the puppies on the Tuesday morning flight and is investigating further.
Airline spokeswoman Mary Frances Fagan said Wednesday the shipper put 14 puppies aboard Flight 851 scheduled to leave Tulsa at 6:30 a.m. It was delayed an hour by weather conditions in Chicago.
Fagan says baggage handlers taking the puppies to a kennel area at O'Hare Airport grew concerned because they looked lethargic.
She says employees tried to cool down the dogs. They were taken to a vet's office, but five died initially and two others died later.
