The Cincinnati-area airport took a child’s beloved stuffed animal for an impromptu tour, reaching many on social media, before uniting the toy Dalmatian with its family in Florida.
Staff at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport were sending the toy back to Florida on Friday.
Spokesperson Mindy Kershner says the airport’s Facebook posts about the missing plaything reached 1 million people.
Airport employees found the toy left behind in the terminal and snapped photos of the lost traveler outfitted in a mask at the airport’s restaurants, on the runway and with a K9 team.
