The whole affair caused her distress.
For a pet owner, a lost pet is truly anxiety-inducing. The bond between a pet and their owner is often a deep and cherished one, built on years of companionship, love, and shared experiences.
The worry, fear, and sense of helplessness can consume their thoughts, and the uncertainty of their pet's safety and well-being only adds to the distress. Every passing hour feels like an eternity, with the owner desperately searching for any clues or signs of their furry friend.
Today's post is a sad tale of a traveling owner who lost her dog during her trip. For Paula Rodriguez, who's from the Dominican Republic, losing her dog is like living a nightmare.
According to the pet owner, there were no direct flights. She was forced to book flights at one of the biggest and busiest airports in the world, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
That was where it all began. When she arrived in Atlanta, she was told that her tourist visa didn't meet the requirements and that she'd have to take the next flight.
The staff was unaware that the pet owner's flight was the next day. She waited in a detention center without her dog.
The next morning, when the pet owner was preparing to board, she received the distressing news that her dog was missing, causing her to experience a state of panic as she had no choice but to travel back to the Dominican Republic without her beloved pet.
Sadly, the airline lost her dog because the staff weren't aware that her flight will be on the next day.
Everyone who knows me knows what she means to me.
I don’t go anywhere without her. She’s so well-behaved that I take her to restaurants, literally everywhere.
She’s my partner in everything.
She tells the reporters.
Maia has a microchip, and both Rodriguez and Delta Airlines have reached out to relevant organizations and veterinaries in the county, raising hopes that she might still be somewhere within the airport.
Delta has offered Rodriguez $1,800. They emphasize that this is not compensation but a gesture of empathy, backed by various actions and communications with their customer.
However, a reporter has expressed his view that Delta's efforts in locating the dog are lacking.
According to the reporter, the airline staff is still searching for the dog. He also encouraged the pet owners to talk the the lawyers of Delta Airlines regarding the investigation.
The pet owner was left sleepless and in constant panic because of what happened. The sister further adds that she doesn't want things to get worse, so she was compelled to reach out for support.
She hopes that her sister and Maia will soon be reunited.
