'I'm in agony,' Paula Rodriguez said. 'I've been living a nightmare since Friday, knowing my baby is out there somewhere scared, or might be injured. All kinds of thoughts come into my head and I can't do anything. Every minute feels like a day.'
It's a nightmare scenario for anyone with a pet: taking them on a trip with you, and losing them.
But on arrival at Atlanta at 6.55 p.m. Friday, Rodriguez says that border force staff informed her that she "didn't meet the requirements" of her tourist visa - so they canceled it, telling her that she'd have to return to home on the next flight. They shifted her to a flight an hour later, leaving for Punta Cana, a two-and-a-half-hour drive away from Santo Domingo. Rodriguez was happy to switch destinations, and assumed that it was a simple mixup and Maia would make the next flight.
"I called Delta, Atlanta airport, even San Francisco. I filed every claim possible. I called all the shelters and veterinary surgeries I could in Atlanta. I was in agony for two days with no answer," said Rodriguez. "They're giving her a tour, and showing her the tapes, but she says there's nothing - no leads," said Rodriguez.
