Kind Stranger Rescues Chihuahua Mix Missing For 22 Days - Inspirational Videos

After a woman’s relentless search for a dog lost at the world’s busiest airport, Maia, a chihuahua mix pup, is back with her owner.

Animals have a way of sneaking their way into our hearts. Those furry, four-legged creatures essentially become members of the family. Whenever they are missing, for any amount of time, their absence is felt and noticeable. A lost or missing pet has to be one of the most stressful and anxiety-ridden situations anyone can experience.

Unfortunately, that was the exact situation that Paula Rodriguez experienced. It all began when Maia and her owner, Paula Rodriguez, were flying from the Dominican Republic to San Francisco, California, according to a clip posted on YouTube.

However, during a stop in Atlanta, Georgia, Paula, because she did not have the correct paperwork to enter the country, was forced to spend the night in the airport’s detention center. Because of the airport’s rules against pets in the detention center, Maia and Paula were separated, the clip reports. But the next day, Delta, who had agreed to take care of Maia for the night, lost the animal, with it getting free on the runway.

After that incident, many volunteers, including Robin Allgood, set out to help find and secure the animal. She put out hundreds of signs, hoping to find the animal. But weeks passed, and there was no sign of Maia.

But then, early one morning, Robin got a call that Maia had been spotted on the runway. After getting the runaround from anyone and everyone associated with the airport, Robin was eventually allowed into the area where a dog had been spotted 12 hours later. 

It was Maia! After 22 days, the lost dog had been recovered.

The clip points out that Maia was dehydrated and had lost seven pounds during that time, but she was soon reunited with her owner.

Thanks to the relentless efforts of Robin, Maia was back home, reunited with her family.
