Woman Claims Airline Nearly Killed Her Greyhound -- And She's Fighting Back

The story airs tonight on NBC Bay Area.

Former Bay Area resident Janet Sinclair is waging a battle against United Airlines claiming the company's PetSafe program rendered her dog nearly dead after a cross-country flight in July.

With her Facebook page --  United Airlines Almost Killed My Greyhound -- Sinclair, a former Pleasanton resident, is taking her story public.

Sinclair asserts the airline agreed to cover her $2,700 vet bill -- if she signed a confidentiality agreement and remained mum on the incident -- which she is not.

A news segment on Sinclair and her racetrack-rescued greyhound, Sedona, airs tonight on NBC Bay Area.
