Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA dog urinated on a Delta plane at LaGuardia, and the pilot walked out to the gate and asked passengers to vote.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorTwo choices, according to Jennifer Coffey's caption: order a cleaning, or leave on time smelling like dog urine. Who counts the hands?
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe captain does. Our Pet of the Day is that dog, the Unelected Incumbent, who ran on one issue and carried every seat he sat near.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorStat line: one flight, one decision. I assume the dog's statement is just, I did what I came here to do. I'm getting emotional.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorRating, ten out of ten. The clip cuts off before anyone counts, so as far as the record shows, the dog is undefeated.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorUndefeated, and nobody has even filed an appeal.
