But she really didn’t seem to mind the mixup. Bethany was heading from Seattle to her new home in Jackson, _Hawaii News Now_ [reports](http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/story/30633615/corgi-ends-up-in-honolulu-after-being-put-on-wrong-plane "undefined"). But during a layover in Dallas, American Airlines staff placed her on the wrong flight, ultimately sending her to a tropical paradise instead. Here she is, looking rather content, as corgis so often do: > [](https://twitter.com/BuzzFeed/status/671740447216295936) The pup’s breeder, Paul Chen, reported her missing on Saturday, and initially feared that she’d been stolen. The airline quickly realized its mistake once she landed in Hawaii. She was held under the care of a veterinarian before being sent back to Dallas to complete her original itinerary. We can only hope that Bethany made the most of her brief tropical vacation. Maybe she even learned to surf, like[ another corgi we know](http://time.com/3274200/corgi-surfing/ "undefined"). ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4131034/corgi-hawaii-flight/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4131034/corgi-hawaii-flight/"},"headline":"Rogue Corgi Accidentally Ends Up in Hawaii, Is Totally Chill About It","datePublished":"2015-12-01T19:57:17.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:27:15.702Z","description":"American Airlines put her on the wrong flight","url":"https://time.com/4131034/corgi-hawaii-flight/","keywords":["Newsfeed","animals"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4131034/corgi-hawaii-flight/","name":"Rogue Corgi Accidentally Ends Up in Hawaii, Is Totally Chill About It"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Inside the Canine Mind","description":"Professor Brian Hare at Duke University studies people's pet dogs to understand how canines think","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/dTemQHb7/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2009-09-11T01:23:04.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/dTemQHb7.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4131034/corgi-hawaii-flight/","duration":"PT2M8S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4131034/corgi-hawaii-flight/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
