Tayla and Nathan Broad’s attempt to fly their french bulldog Charlie from Melbourne to Perth turned into every pet owner’s nightmare.
The former Love Island winner shared her traumatic experience with her Instagram followers which began on Monday morning.
“Our poor Charlie was meant to embark on a flight early this morning,” Tayla wrote in an Instagram Story. “Instead, he has been left at the airport in a crate for over nine hours without food.”
The model and podcaster went on to say that the airline transferring Charlie, Qantas, had not notified the couple that their dog didn’t get on his scheduled flight. This meant Tayla’s brother had waited at Perth airport for several hours to pick up the confused pup.
“No one is able to tell us where Charlies is. Just that he didn’t get put on his morning flight. We are unsure if he is currently in the air or still stuck inside a crate at the airport. Every person we speak to gives us a different answer as to where they ‘think’ he is!” the reality star said.
Tayla referred to Qantas’ handling of the situation as “disgusting”, even going as far as making allegations of “animal abuse”.
