He said the dog was malnourished when he arrived to his mother’s home in Texas.‘She had three dogs.
‘My mom was like ‘I don’t want the dog to die,” so I put it on Facebook. I called everyone in Dallas..and it came down to the final minutes, and there was nothing I could do for the dog, so I tied it in the back of the truck, gave it food and water, and laid all the paperwork out so everyone would know exactly who this was and what was going on,’ He continued, adding that he called airport security to tell them ‘exactly’ where Zelda was located in the parking garage.
