ATLANTA, GA – A North Carolina couple who has been fighting to get their newly adopted dog into the US from Iraq finally got to meet her Saturday.
Grace was rescued off the streets of northern Iraq. She was abused and only has one eye.
The dog flew into Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport a month ago but was unable to clear customs due to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s ban on dogs from countries with a high risk for rabies.
A reunion months in the making! Welcome (officially) to the US, Grace! Take look at the old tweets so see the journey she's been on for the past several months. @Mary_Reading @ConradCoggs @joanne_stocker @FOX5Atlanta #Atlanta https://t.co/oUIC8ZnIwJ pic.twitter.com/RA6u19eRVq
