A small dog that is his weight.
At the end of September, a chihuahua hidden in the suitcase of its owners caused excess baggage in an airport in Texas (United States).
The animal had slipped there without its owners realizing it.
The facts occurred on September 26th.
Kristi and Jared Owens were heading to Las Vegas for a "romantic getaway," reports the US version of

.
But when checking in their luggage, South West Airlines staff told them that a suitcase exceeded the allowable weight by more than 2 kg.
"Icky likes to burrow"
The Texan couple could pay for the excess or rearrange their suitcase to lighten it.
They chose the second option but upon opening their luggage, they saw their chihuahua, Icky, sneaking out of the clothes.
The dog had hidden in a cowboy boot bundled up by Jared Owens.
"Icky likes to burrow, that's his thing," Kristi Owens told the American media.
She buried herself in clothes, and obviously in suitcases now.

The couple initially worried, fearing the airline might think they had intentionally hid their dog,

Instead, the staff helped the Americans organize themselves, keeping an eye on the dog while his handlers made calls to find someone who could come and pick him up.
