Aguilar expressed disappointment in the way that Volaris and LAX handled the situation.
Muchas gracias por todas sus buenas vibras y oraciones para encontrar a mi perrito. Lo encontraron, pero desgraciadamente ya sin vida.
Un día muy triste para nosotros. Cucho era parte de nuestra familia.— Pepe Aguilar (@PepeAguilar) June 29, 2018
Muy molestos por la forma en que #Volaris y #LAX manejan este tipo de situaciones. Es VERDADERAMENTE INCREÍBLE que con tantas disque "medidas de seguridad" puedan pasar estas cosas.
