A woman has reunited with her missing dog who was found over 1,000 miles away across the country.
A dog that was accidentally left off of an Alaska Airlines flight from RDU to Seattle has been found after a hours-long search.
What was supposed to be two-week vacation turned into a three-week nightmare for one dog owner.
"I'm in agony," Paula Rodriguez said. "I've been living a nightmare since Friday, knowing my baby is out there somewhere scared, or might be injured. All kinds of thoughts come into my head and I can't do anything. Every minute feels like a day."
"How could anybody just (burn an animal) and stand there and look at it? It's inhumane," the dog's caretaker said.
Ryder has a microchip, making it easy for the shelter to track down his owner, who said he got out of their Las Vegas yard on July 3.
