Here's the scoop: Maia's owner, Paula Rodriguez, was on a Delta flight with a stopover in Atlanta when things took a wild turn. Sadly, during that layover, Maia vanished into thin air, leaving Rodriguez super upset.
To track down her furry buddy, Rodriguez turned to a Facebook group called "Atlanta Area Lost and Found Pets" back on August 18th, pouring her heart out and begging for help to find Maia.
On August 21st that she received a message from Delta Airlines revealing that Maia had escaped from her kennel on the airport ramp and that airport personnel were actively searching for her.
Subsequently, Robin Allgood, a dedicated individual with a mission to reunite lost dogs with their owners, took action by distributing flyers throughout the airport premises. Allgood's efforts did not go in vain, as she received a call from an informant who claimed to have sighted Maia. This crucial information led to the successful recovery of the beloved dog on a Saturday.
In the video posted on Twitter, Allgood explains where she found Maia.
"It feels so good, it feels such a relief," Rodriguez said. "I am so happy my hear it full of love."
In a statement from Delta they said they are happy for all of the teamwork that made finding Maia possible.
