@MikeD490 @cutedogsetc @JanMinchew2 But boarding facilities are often also not the best solution. Leaving the pet with a family member would be best.

@cloroxgal @DavidBegnaud Publishing names will expose them to drama they would rather not be a part of. I hope airports and airlines will change their policies and not expose grieving pet owners to the mercy of "recovery specialists." Robin declared the dog as dead and prepared for her vacation.

[PCLiving @PClivingmag]

@oatm0ther @DavidBegnaud Have you spoken to the FedEx workers?

[PCLiving @PClivingmag]

@JamesJones48048 Sadly, Robin had declared Maia for dead the week before this happy turn of events took place.

[PCLiving @PClivingmag]

@MissHorizonArt @DavidBegnaud @peta offered a reward of $5,000 for the safe return of Maia and urged @ATLairport to step up. Together with the media pressure, it helped get Maia home. The FedEx employees who found her are to be commended and @peta did so. The recovery person could finally complete the work.

@jenniferbuck @ATLairport @peta @IngridNewkirk @DavidBegnaud This is @petals statement regarding euthanasia: https://t.co/znUuJS50yj

In my opinion euthanasia is often the kindest solution for a suffering and abused pet.

PeTA offered a reward of $5,000 for the safe return of Maia and urged @ATLairport to step up.

@MagicMeese @ATLairport @peta @IngridNewkirk @DavidBegnaud Please don't twist the truth. This is @peta and and @IngridNewkirk's statement on the matter of euthanasia. https://t.co/znUuJS50yj

In my opinion, in many instances, euthanasia is the kindest of measures that can stop the suffering of a neglected pet.

@Lklinger8 @peta @IngridNewkirk Robin had already given up on Maia, declaring she was dead, and also not letting anyone else in to try to search for Maia. She was preparing for her vacation. The FedEx workers are the real heroes.

@cloroxgal @DavidBegnaud I can share this information. You can email [email protected], and I will send you my name and contact info and discuss the other efforts. I am sure they are not comfortable with their names being discussed here. They would have to make their own statements.

[PCLiving @PClivingmag]

@cloroxgal @DavidBegnaud Robin mentioned other colleagues, and yes, there were many volunteers and lots of efforts behind the scenes to communicate and manage... Robin's idea of managing it was to spread misinformation and shut down other experts who most definitely could have helped.

[PCLiving @PClivingmag]

@Lklinger8 @GratefulLearner Whole "story." Yes, I can see that.

[PCLiving @PClivingmag]

@cloroxgal @DavidBegnaud Tracking dogs do seem to be successful in many cases and are certainly not going to be if they aren't brought in. I am not calling myself an expert in anything, and even "experts" should not make absoltute statements about something as uncertain as this case has proven to be.

[PCLiving @PClivingmag]

@LynneLasher @DavidBegnaud Other volunteers and not Robin handed out flyers and spoke to security guards last week, continuously placing phone calls and not wanting to give up while previous Robin told them the dog was dead. Continuously. Not just in one message.

[PCLiving @PClivingmag]

@LynneLasher @DavidBegnaud Real specialists consider the character and behavior of lost dogs. I admire that you are standing up for your friend. However, I can say and show that Robin boycotted search attempts and put hard-working volunteers and experienced professionals down.

@barbaranancy888 @DavidBegnaud @ATLairport @peta @IngridNewkirk I sincerely hope that airlines and airports will reconsider their practices and the lack thereof. I read today that Alaska Airlines has an advanced system in place.

[PCLiving @PClivingmag]

@DavidBegnaud @ATLairport @peta @IngridNewkirk I urge you to please research and provide a detailed account of the chain of events and the FedEx employee's statement. Robin presented herself as a volunteer but prevented other experts and insiders from joining the effort, shutting down their attempts to get organized.

[PCLiving @PClivingmag]

@MikeD490 @DavidBegnaud @ATLairport @peta @IngridNewkirk I will need to change my mindset about packing. This case has certainly opened my eyes to an entire new set of challenges, including media prefers fast output to doing any type of research. Would not have expected that from a nationwide outlet.

[PCLiving @PClivingmag]

@cutedogsetc @JanMinchew2 @DavidBegnaud @ATLairport @peta @IngridNewkirk @Delta There also needs to be a protocol on how to manage these type of cases and not abandon pet and it's human and leave them to the mercy and tactics of supposed "specialists." Personnel needs to be trained and knowledgeable about handling the situation and all involved.

[PCLiving @PClivingmag]

@cutedogsetc @JanMinchew2 @DavidBegnaud @ATLairport @peta @IngridNewkirk @Delta Thank you! I am not being difficult. I know the truth. I prayed and cried in the last two weeks more than I have in the last year, trying to bargain with Robin to get better organized without avail.

[PCLiving @PClivingmag]

@Retse89 @beeleevitonly @DavidBegnaud I would like this story confirmed by the FedEx employee who found Maia.
