A bipartisan pair of senators filed the Welfare Of Our Furry Friends (WOOFF) Act Thursday to prohibit putting animals in overhead bins on flights after a dog died during a United Airlines flight after being up in an overheard cabin.

Sens. John Kennedy, R-La., and Catherine Cortez Masto, D-Nev., filed the bill Thursday, which calls on the Federal Aviation Administration to prohibit the storing of a live animal in any overhead compartment and to establish civil fines for violations.
