On a recent Delta flight, we're pretty sure no one expected two penguins to strut down the aisle!

And we're also sure not a single person said:

"I'm tired of these mothereffin penguins on this mothereffin plane!"

LOLz!

These penguins, Penny and Peter were on their way to the New York premiere of Frozen Planet!

So cute! They should do that on every flight!

If you're planning to go on an airplane, and are thinking about taking your pet with you, think again if you're flying Delta.

A new report by the U.S. Department of Transportation has released the Air Travel Consumer Report.

The report shows that 35 animals died in-flight while in the checked baggage cargo hold.

And 19 of those 35 were on a Delta flight!!

The second most deadly airline was American which had only 5.

A Delta spokesman explained that they carry more pets than other airlines, thus the higher numbers.

We think there is no excuse for any pet death during a flight.

A cute, little pug named "J" boarded a Delta flight in Moscow, Russia alive and healthy, but arrived in New York dead.

His owner said:

"I saw him in Moscow. He was fine. Then, he gets off the plane, his body's like a popsicle.

On the plane itself, it was so cold that the passengers would ask for second blankets," said Julia. "I would ask the flight attendants, 'We have a dog there, and it is so cold for people, will he be okay?'"

They believe he froze to death during the 11 hour trip.

"He's part of our family. I'm heartbroken, devastated, destroyed. They killed our dog."

Delta has only said they've had "challenges" safely transporting pets. They released a statement that said:

"With those past challenges, we take the transport of pets very seriously and safely transport many hundreds of pets every year. Again, we regret this episode and will work with the customer to make it right."

Unless they can go back in time and undo what they did, we don't see how they could ever make this "right."

R.I.P. "J"

Our thoughts are with his grieving family.
