We spent some time looking at the gift shop on our way down, and my girlfriend found a shirt with a hot dog sitting in the stands at a baseball game.
For everyone's safety, meet in a public place and never send money to strangers to recover a pet. Verify anyone who claims a pet before arranging a meeting.
