WestJet finds lost gecko, owner wants airline to change policy on cabin access
VANCOUVER — A pet gecko that disappeared after its owner put it on a WestJet flight from Toronto to Vancouver last Sunday has been found alive.
Meryl Bishop, the owner of Nom the gecko, received a call from the airline on Wednesday afternoon to say she’s been found.
The 11-centimetre lizard hasn’t had any food and little water since she was placed in the cargo hold of a plane.
Bishop says in a Facebook message that all Nom had was a damp paper towel placed in her carrier to keep her cool and create some humidity.
