<\/a><\/p>\nAppalling. An airline gave a dog<\/em> preferential treatment over a terminally ill father.\u00a0<\/p>\n Jorge Alvarado and his family had planned to build lasting, beautiful memories on their trip to Washington. Their short excursion was certainly memorable \u2014 but for a deplorable reason.\u00a0NY Daily News<\/a> shares the details of his mistreatment:<\/p>\n The family drew sympathy worldwide and a free trip to Disneyland after Giovanni suffered an allergic reaction to dogs on a plane. He was flying home to see relatives in Washington state one last time on Feb. 22, but was removed from the plane before takeoff. Giovanni and his parents said passengers on the back of the Allegiant Air plane\u00a0clapped when they left the plane to get medical care<\/a>\u00a0after a 90-minute flight delay.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Tell me\u2026Why wasn\u2019t the dog made to leave? The cause of the problem was allowed to stay, while the child and his family were humiliated. Not to mention, Allegiant Airlines robbed this family of precious time they will never get back.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, Jorge recently lost his battle with cancer.<\/p>\n Jorge Alvarado succumbed Thursday to his esophageal cancer in a hospice center near his family\u2019s suburban Phoenix home, said his wife Christina Fabian. He\u2019s survived by Fabian and their 12 children, including 7-year-old Giovanni, who was especially torn up by the incident last month. Alvarado was 48\u2026<\/p>\n
