That woman is a angel! I'm so happy that Mia was reunited and even better that Peta offered a reward!! 🙏 ❤️

[@mokat6325]

Yes, thank you PETA!

[@frozenwarning]

That woman is a SAINT for doing that. That’s a lot of effort for someone else’s dog. She even cried… she’s a great human being.

[@cynthiamason4069]

BRAVO! YEAH! Here's to the rescuers and those amazing FedEx workers, and, of course, that sweet pup who didn't give up☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆

[@susieusmaximus5330]

I'm so happy this turned out well for the family and the dog, but does anyone believe Delta ever lifted a finger to find that dog? When someone at the airport actually made a concerted effort to find her, they had her in one day, but as long as it was up to Delta, nothing happened, they wouldn't even vouch for Robin Allgood to be let on the property. Props to FedEx workers for caring even though it wasn't their responsibility at all, but Delta should be ashamed of themselves.

[@tjmichael8773]

thank God for that woman and those workers. hopefully Delta rewards all them additionally.

[@margo3367]

I heard about the story when they lost the dog and how the owner couldn’t stay in the country to look for her because she didn’t have the proper documentation. I felt her pain so much. So glad this ended happily. ❤

[@teresalegler2777]

Seven lbs lost for a chihuahua is a lot! Glad they were reunited!

[@jeannes.356]

This is a beautiful miracle! Maia’s will to survive and all the heroes who saved her. Thank you, Robin, for your incredible determination and skills that resulted in Maia being back into Paula’s loving arms!!

[@ClarityAmor]

Ok this has me in tears! I know what it's like to miss your furbaby. It's absolutely devastating and the not knowing is the worse! So happy this sweet baby was reunited with her devoted family! Just amazing!

[@teresatrigiani7838]

I have a little Mexican Chihuahua that is my heart and soul. This story just moved me tears. I hope that wonderful Robin Allgood reads these comments. She is someone to honor.

[@jeanfarrell8017]

Great group of people who helped get that pup. So happy the that Maia was found safe❤️🙏🙏🙏❤️

[@joannepackus5736]

Robin! You are all good! What a beautiful story!!! So happy that little pup made it home.

[@josifaleiro3943]

God bless this woman.

[@iyamizansu]

Ms.Allgood, Driver Mr. Al Lewis and FedEx searching Maia team!! They are beautiful.

[@user-vm5ud4xw6n]

Sent this to my niece. She’s been bummed out since having to put her dog down! Thanks for the happy!! Merry Christmas to all!

[@anastasiabeaverhausen8220]

Saw this a few wks. ago. Thank you for following up and letting us know the doggie was found.

[@taniahassan2464]

What an angel. What a special special person..wow

[@cristina817]

Beautiful history ❤

[@CA2SD]

Delta failed everyone. I would still pursue legal action for all the emotional distress and negligence. This lady would be forever my hero. I would always remember to celebrate her birthday. Kudos to those over at Fed-Ex. Chihuahuas are in a league of their own.

[@juliepowell8494]

I love these people. Thanks FedX

[@moniquehammonds4032]

I just had to put my fur baby to rest after 13yrs so I understand the love between dog and owner and I am so happy to hear this outcome. I thank God for all the Good Samaritan’s who wouldn’t give up until she was found ❤

[@triciabyrne7761]

❤ Thank goodness for generous hearted people. ❤

[@user-mx5ee7hk6u]

Absolutely Fantastic!!! Thank you for sharing this story.

[@bambooblue74]

Robin is amazing!

[@DarkRendition]

I LOVE my chihuahua mix ❤♥💜

[@carlavaladez2781]

Wow! Thank u ms Robin and fedex team Great job

[@ElizabethT45]

Well-told story, David. It had a good, compelling pace to it. You did expose Delta for not allowing Robin to search earlier, rightfully so. Someone should have walked her through as soon as they heard a dog could be loose there, a dog that was put in a crate she could chew through, so they had a responsibility. Not to mention it must break at least one OSHA rule.

[@darlenetetreault9212]

👍❤️❤️👍 sooooo happy and thankful to all who helped, hope she ok now that she is home.

[@kyotathejapanesevegan]

Good story.😢

[@katgurl5119]

[@worldtraveler3044]

Well done, Robin. Delta we ALL know you didn’t look. 😂

[@conniewolf7300]

[@cornishpasty4344]

Yay Al and Robin!

[@veronicanunez2365]

I love a happy ending with this beautiful pup. Bottom line leave them home with care. Unless of course you are moving

[@Cori.m]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@patriciagurwitz509]

Sorry, I don’t believe for a minute that Delta searched anywhere much less in surrounding animal shelters.😮

[@kingoreo3642]

🙏🏻🌹❤️

[@paulchezkari6952]

Glod bless this Good Samritan and that Fed Ex worker🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@DarkRendition]

I think Maia is a Chiweenie! My baby is a Chiweenie + Aussie mix!

[@milktart4591]

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@littlejoe9381]

Poor Maia. She looks like she’s been through much stress. I’m sure all those loud plane engines scared her half to death.

[@paloma6135]

Fedex are the heroes!

[@LisaMarie-rh5yn]

Huh? Fed Ex helped, which was fantastic. But do you understand that this woman Robin - who had ZERO relation to the family or the dog - spent 2 weeks of her OWN time making posters, putting them up, driving around, etc. She then got in her car at 3am to drive to the airport and fight BS battles for TWELVE hours. She drove the airport for three of those hours. Not only would most families not go this length, but that a total stranger did that? She is a hero and warrior princess.

[@juliepowell8494]

And of course RW

[@angelikalindenau943]

All's well that ends well, thanks to a lady called Allgood!

[@llhannah9297]

So Delta lost the dog then did nothing to find it and it was on the property the entire time. A property where most don't have access except for Delta!!! That poor dog and owner traumatized for weeks! She should sue them.

[@LyranSoul]

Never put your pets in cargo. They don't give a crap about passengers, much less animals.

[@LINDATHRALL-pb8zu]

I'M VERY HAPPY THE FAMILY GOT THE PRECIOUS LITTLE 🥜LICOUS 🥜 IS SAFE WITH HER FAMILY ALL WIGGLY AND SUCKERING DIFFERENT FOLKS MAYA 🥜 LICOUS 🥜

[@dianaromero5782]

A reward for robin and fedex employees?? What about the dog mama that has gone through the stress and unspeakable worrisome

""Nate B.""as the saying goes ..".if you don't know ya better ask "(which one is Mia!!!???)....😂👍🏽....

[@elliottbradley6302]

Ps.cutting to🎥:Vlad,Tony and Gale...👀,!!!??,👀!!??,👀!!!??.... excellent story....

[@plum_loco]

The Fed Ex workers deserve most of the credit for finding her. This lady trapped her with her trap. But she was relentless too.

[@FynnOliverEmonSill]

EEEEeeeeekkkkkK!!!!

[@lesliecano4963]

A dog isn’t luggage! If you travel with your pet pay the extra fee to take it with you in the cabin! Obviously! 🤬

[@carlavaladez2781]

Better .. leave pets home with sitter, family or friend pleeeze

[@rtg2290]

[@catserver8577]

*sarcasm* Well, gee, good to know that our safety is in great hands at the airport. *end sarcasm* WTF, locking up someone on vacation, and losing their dog? The ridiculous crap they had to go through to get the dog back doesn't make me feel any more certain that our airlines even know what they are doing at any given time. Seriously, at one point the lady couldn't find the actual security personnel? Come on, all of this was supposed to be figured out years ago. It's not rocket science. Here's the procedure in a nutshell: Do your job. All the time. And know what it is. All the time. End of instructions.

[@4BluDolphins]

Y give her any credit…waste of time….The news media should have talked too the owner only…
