A dog has finally been reunited with its owners in Tennessee after the pet was mistakenly shipped to Saudi Arabia.
Madison Miller told Nashville television station WSMV that her dog Bluebell was sent to the Middle Eastern country when the rest of the family moved from London, England, to Tennessee.

“They said she wasn’t in Nashville, and they said their best guess was she was in Saudi Arabia,” Miller said. “After we knew she was in Saudi Arabia, it was just all hands on deck. How do we get her back?”
Miller told the outlet their dog has not been well since returning from the extended travel. Bluebell frequently cries when left alone and even chewed through a door, Miller alleges.
“They said this has never happened before, we don’t even understand how it could happen because there are so many safety checks in place,” Miller said to the news station.
The cargo company, IAG Cargo, told the outlet in a statement that the dog “received refreshments frequently and had time outside to stretch her legs — including regular walks and eight hours with the team at the Heathrow Animal Reception centre who cared for her” and that it is in contact with the family.
