Dog Disaster: How Beloved Maia Went Missing at Busy Atlanta Airport | VIDEO

Story Summary | A traveler and her dog Maia were separated by border officials and the airline lost track of the beloved dog

The traveler flew from the Dominican Republic to California with her dog Maia, a six-year-old rescue dog, on August 18.
She had a layover at Atlanta airport, where she was denied entry to the US and told to spend the night in a detention center.
She was forced to hand over Maia to an airline agent, who promised to take care of her and bring her back the next day.
The next day, she arrived at the gate for her flight back home, but Maia was nowhere to be found.

She launched a social media campaign to find Maia and has received support from animal lovers and celebrities.
The airline has apologized for the incident and said they are working with local authorities and animal shelters to locate Maia.
