Lost Dog Reunited with Owner After 3 Weeks at Atlanta Airport

After being separated for three weeks at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Maia the dog was found exhausted but in good health and reunited with her owner, Paula Rodriguez. Maia had escaped from her crate while it was being loaded onto a flight. Rodriguez, who was turned away by border agents and forced to catch a flight home without her dog, received help from a volunteer animal recovery specialist and a FedEx cargo worker who spotted Maia. After a day of searching, Maia was finally caught by the specialist and the reunion took place. Incidents like Maia's are rare but often make headlines, with other animals like Breezy the cat, Rowdy the cat, and Rocky the dog also being lost and eventually found at different airports.
