According to Alaska Airlines, Moose was intended to travel on a flight departing from Raleigh-Durham International Airport with his owner on Tuesday evening. However, an error during the loading process resulted in Moose being excluded from the flight.
Following the oversight, Moose spent the night at the airport under the care of airline staff. The next morning, preparations were made for Moose to catch a subsequent flight to Seattle.
