A United Airlines pilot adopted a puppy abandoned at San Francisco International Airport after it arrived from China. The owner didn't have the proper paperwork upon landing in the U.S.
The dog, who the airline named Polaris after its business class, remained at the airport where it slept in an office and was fed treats.United asked the San Francisco SPCA animal shelter to help find a home for the dog but requested that the animal be placed with an employee of the airline.
"We really wanted him to go to someone in our United family, because of how much our team rallied around him," an airline representative said in a statement. The airline held an adoption party for Polaris at the San Francisco airport on Dec. 15 and donated $5,000 to the SPCA.
