The elegant woman checks in at JFK with her Louis Vuitton luggage and a dog carrier and boards an El Al 747 bound for Israel. After landing at Lod Airport the baggage handlers drop the dog carrier by accident, and on inspecting the carrier find the dog is dead. Horrified, they try to decide what to do. One says, "There's an excellent pet shop right outside the terminal. Maybe we can find a similar dog and replace it."  Off they go and, as luck would have it, there is an identical dog. They buy it, replace the dead dog, and bring the carrier to the carousel area.  They apologize for being a little late, but state the dog is fine. The woman looks into the carrier and starts weeping. "You don't understand.  My dog is dead. I was bringing him to Israel to be buried."
