During her layover at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Paula discovers that her tourist visa is invalid and that she must spend the night in a detention center before returning to the Dominican Republic the next morning .

The problem? She was not allowed to keep her pet with her. Faced with this situation, the American airline Delta Air Lines promises to monitor Maia while waiting for her return flight.

But the next day, Paula learned that the company had lost its dog. However, the young woman was forced to board the plane without her because she was not allowed to stay at the airport due to American regulations.

“She has been missing for over 72 hours in the largest airport in the United States,” Paula told Atlanta News First television station at the time.

For its part, the airline contacted the young woman and offered her the sum of 1,800 dollars (around 1,700 euros). A gesture that Paula’s lawyer described as “an insult”.

In a statement, the company said the money was not “an offer of compensation” and claimed it had “shown sympathy through its many actions and gestures towards its client.”
