then why did your employee insist the dog goes in the overhead bin 

I kind of don't understand reason of death tho? Why'd the dog die? 3 hours with no water wouldn't kill something

A dog is not a "something."

maybe it was stressed and had a heart attack

ik if little dogs get too scared, it can happen

"Under no circumstance should the pet have been required to be stored in the overhead bin. While the bin is pressurized, there’s no air circulation in the bins as there’s no expectation for a living animal to be placed inside. While bins certainly aren’t airtight, the lack of air might have played a part in the loss of the pet."

The dog basically suffocated to death.

It definitely was stress. Small dogs tend to have weak hearts, poor baby

I dont think we have the full story. If the carrier was too large to fit under the seat, the owner is partly responsible.
