Llewellyn<\/div>\n<div>Meet Paco. He was a lost, homeless dog scavenging for food on a beach in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico when a kind hearted American couple rescued him. Josiah Allen and Erin docking fell in love with this funny-looking, adorable little guy and decided to give him a home. They went through all the procedures of traveling with a dog, took him to the vet, got him treated for ticks, an eye infection and got him all his shots.<\/div>\n<div>They bought a special, airline-approved crate and trusted Delta Airlines to safely load the dog on board for the trip to his new home in Detroit, Michigan.<\/div>\n<div>When the couple arrived, they were shocked to find Paco had not made the flight. Delta staff said they &#8216;forgot&#8217; to board the dog but he would be cared for until he was put on the next available flight.<\/div>\n<div>When they called the next day to check on his arrival, nobody knew anything and the story changed.<\/div>\n<div>Delta said the dog somehow escaped his crate.<\/div>\n<div>How?<\/div>\n<div>Where is Paco?<\/div>\n<div>This is a devastating story when it is obvious Paco went through so much before this ordeal.<\/div>\n<div>Now it appears that Delta&#8217;s changing stories is especially worrisome. To top it off, the airline says they have stopped searching for Paco.<\/div>\n<div>Is he dead or alive?<\/div>\n<div>I&#8217;ve lost luggage thanks to airlines. A friend of mine lost his championship surfboard.<\/div>\n<div>Nothing however compares to the loss of life, especially one that is entrusted to us. I am haunted by Paco&#8217;s story because I am an animal lover and because I plan to move to Hawaii soon. I will be transporting three animals.<\/div>\n<div>Should anything happen to my dog or my cats, believe me, the airline responsible for screwing up so royally will have more than a petition to deal with.<\/div>\n<div>In the meantime, please consider signing the petition started by the wonderful Care 2 group which is putting pressure on Delta to keep searching for Paco &#8211; and to admit the truth about what happened to him. Paco&#8217;s humans need 10,000 signatures to persuade Delta keep searching for the little guy.<\/div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/www.msplinks.com\/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmNhcmUyLmNvbS9jYXVzZXMvYW5pbWFsLXdlbGZhcmUvYmxvZy9wZXRpdGlvbi1kZWx0YS1haXJsaW5lcy10by1wbGVhc2UtZmluZC1wYWNvLw==\"><span style=\"color: #776644;\">http:\/\/www.care2.com\/causes\/animal-welfare\/blog\/petition-delta-airlines-to-please-find-paco\/<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<div>Aloha oe,<\/div>\n<div>A.J.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--  blogger's current book\/movie\/music\/games  --><\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"2\">\n<tbody>\n<tr valign=\"top\">\n<td>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"2\" width=\"600\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"60\" align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Keola-Beamer-Raiatea-Helm\/dp\/B003F2OOI4%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAJWJL7Z4P3SPKTNOA%26tag%3Dws%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB003F2OOI4\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ecx.images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/517X6pK511L._SL75_.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\">Currently\u00a0listening:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Keola-Beamer-Raiatea-Helm\/dp\/B003F2OOI4%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAJWJL7Z4P3SPKTNOA%26tag%3Dws%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB003F2OOI4\"><strong>Keola Beamer &amp; Raiatea<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nBy\u00a0Keola Beamer &amp; Raiatea Helm<br \/>\nRelease date:\u00a02010-05-04<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paco Current mood:\u00a0\u00a0determined Category: News and Politics \u00a0 By A.J.
