Plane Diverted By Dog On Runway

A US Airways jet was diverted as it came in for landing at Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix on Thursday because a dog was running loose on the runway.

The dog, which appeared to be a stray, turned up on the runway on the south side of the airport around 5:45 a.m.

The dog ran across both runways, eluding airport security workers for 30-minutes, as they chased it in vehicles and on foot.
