Dog sent overseas by mistake returned to Kansas family

WICHITA, Kan. — A dog who was mistakenly flown to Japan is back with his family in Kansas.

The German Shepherd, named Irgo, arrived at a Wichita airport Thursday night after a flight on a private plane from Japan.

Kara Swindle and her two children were flying on United Airlines from Oregon to Kansas City, Missouri, on Tuesday during a move to Wichita, Kansas.

When they went to pick up Irgo, they instead were given a Great Dane.
