A passenger jet was reportedly forced to make an emergency landing in Moscow after a small dog, which somehow opened the luggage compartment from the inside, triggered an alarm onboard. The commander of a Boeing 737 traveling from St. Petersburg informed the ground services of the complications as it was approaching the Russian capital on Sunday.
The alarm went off when the passenger craft was at an altitude of 4,000 meters (13,000 feet)

“During the inspection of the Luggage compartment revealed that the small dog wasn’t locked properly in the cage, got out of it in mid-flight, tore the inner lining of the boot and somehow provoked the triggering of the front flap of the Luggage compartment to the opening,” — said at the airport. The Luggage compartment is not fully opened, the dog was unable to climb and she was still alive.
Lucky for the desperate animal, the plane’s electronics wouldn’t let it open the hatch all the way, triggering the alarm and blocking it. “There was a gap of several dozen centimeters, but the dog was unable to get into it and stayed alive,” the source said.
