I don't know if I can quite call this uplifting. Yes. The dog got adopted but also got dumped at an airport

Yes, but the adoption happened last, so the final result was uplifting.

I hope whoever abandoned the dog got stranded in the winter storm and missed out on their holiday plans. I also hope they never have another pet, they don't deserve one!

I'm rather curious how cumbersome some paperwork for a puppy would be? They don't mention details on why the paperwork was so onerous. It's a puppy not a nail clipper.

My friend just moved to the UK with her dog and it took her weeks of vet visits, sending paperwork to US and UK officials, then booking a berth at the Heathrow receiving center and trying to find a flight on the same day as the berth reservation. Total cost was more than $2500, not counting her own airline ticket.

That sounds excessive. I guess it has become a lot more complex than it used to be.

I moved from uk to Canada 15 years ago, at least in that direction it was a bit easier. My Guinea pig needed a pet health passport, an approved box and a handling agent.

It cost 1500 pounds to get Meatball to Canada (my company paid).

I wonder how an airline pilot cares for a dog? Does the dog always travel with them? They just have a dog sitter for a huge chunk of the dog’s time?

What kind of garbage person abandoned their dog at the airport?! I’d cancel their passport and never let them have animals again if it was up to me

What would really make this more uplifting is if the original owner was tracked down by the police for animal abandonment and cruelty, fined a large amount, then expelled from the country.

This is so sad! To think.. you get shipped so far across the country, and the family you were with suddenly disappeared, with no explanation.. never to see them again or know why 😞
