Delta 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. On August 18, Rodriguez and Maia embarked on a journey from their home in the Dominican Republic to California for a two-week vacation. They canceled her visa and told her she would need to return home on the next flight, Rodriguez previously told CNN. “They called a Delta agent, who took Maia from me,” Rodriguez told CNN. “He said that she was being transported (to the plane) on the runway, and staff had opened her kennel, and she had escaped into the middle of the runway,” Rodriguez told CNN.
