Two days after Maia went missing, a Delta representative contacted Rodriguez to share unfortunate news. She’s so well behaved that I take her to restaurants, literally everywhere. “Everyone who knows me knows what she means to me,” Rodriguez said of her beloved pet. Paula Rodriguez poses with her dog, Maia, in a photo taken sometime before she was lost. Unable to remain in the United States for over 24 hours without a visa, Rodriguez was left with no choice but to board her flight to Punta Cana without Maia, an experience that she said triggered a panic attack during her journey home.
The next day, Rodriguez arrived at her flight’s gate early, eagerly awaiting her reunion with Maia. “They called a Delta agent, who took Maia from me,” Rodriguez told CNN. With the next flight to Punta Cana scheduled for the following day, Rodriguez faced the distressing reality of spending the night alone in a detention center, separated from her beloved canine companion. They canceled her visa and told her she would need to return home on the next flight, Rodriguez previously told CNN. However, when they arrived in Atlanta for a layover, Rodriguez was informed by border patrol staff that her tourist visa did not meet the necessary requirements. On August 18, Rodriguez and Maia embarked on a journey from their home in the Dominican Republic to California for a two-week vacation. “Tired but in apparent good health, she was transported to a vet and is expected to return home soon,” airport officials said.
The airport’s operations team found Maia hiding near the north cargo facilities, according to a post on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.
After enduring nearly a month of heartache and anxiety, a dog owner can finally rest after her missing dog was found safely at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson Airport on Saturday, according to airport officials.ĭelta Air Lines passenger Paula Rodriguez’s 6-year-old dog, Maia, was lost in August at the airport, which is considered the busiest in the world.
