American Airlines Pilot Reunites Lost Baby Doll With Little Girl

When one little girl accidentally left behind her best friend, a doll named Beatrice, on a flight, a kind pilot went out of his way to reunite the two pals.

Children growing up use their imagination to keep themselves entertained and occupied. Playing games with friends is one way in which they do this. Now, those friends can come in the real or imaginary variety. Still, other children may become close to inanimate objects, such as baby dolls.

That’s what happened to 9-year-old Valentina, who became best friends with her doll, Beatrice. However, the young woman was devastated when she accidentally left Beatrice behind on a flight. It seemed that their friendship was destined to end. 

But according to a video posted on YouTube, that was not the case thanks to a kind and loving American Airlines pilot, James Danen.

The short clip explains that after Beatrice went missing, Valentina’s family went to social media and requested help. That post eventually caught the attention of James Danen. After he saw the post on Facebook, he went to work.

James contacted the lost and found of another airline at an airport in Tokyo. While his first attempt was unsuccessful, he reached out again and found Beatrice, the video points out.

Then, after securing Beatrice, James returned the doll to Valentina in Texas. The doll traveled more than 5,800 miles with James.

Valentina was thrilled to have her best friend back, someone she thought was gone forever.

Valentina and James shared a sweet and loving embrace after he handed the young woman her best friend. 

“I felt over the moon,” Valentina said. “I know Beatrice was going to be mad at me, but I was happy to see her again.”

For James, seeing the two pals reunited brought him great happiness.

“My nature, I like helping people,” James said. “I mean, that’s just what I like doing.”

Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.”
