Sukie, a foster dog who had just made the flight from Puerto Rico to New Jersey last month escaped while being unloaded by workers at Newark Liberty International Airport.
Adri Galler Lastra, director of Puerto Rican-based Amigos de los Animales shelter launched a social media campaign to find Suki who got out of her crate while it was being unloaded from the plane in Newark.
The six-year-old mixed breed lab was found Monday morning. She had lost some weight but was in good spirits according to Galler Lastra.
Jim Tierney, a dog tracker has been trying to find Sukie for weeks and found her at about 3 am.
She flew to New Jersey to take custody of Sukie and brought her to a local vet for treatment.
