It was my first day of vacation. I was shopping on Front Street in Philipsburg, St. Maarten, when I was approached by the sweetest little angel face. She had a collar on, so I kept telling myself she was someone's dog and that I shouldn't worry about her.

I gave her a pet and went on my way. I couldn't stop thinking about her all week.

On our last day, we were again shopping on Front Street, and this little dog found us again. I watched her go up to little kids and try to play with other stray dogs on the beach. None of them were very nice to her, and I was heartbroken. Being in another country, I didn't know what to do.

I found a rescue on the island from the Destination magazine I received boarding the plane. The founder of the rescue was originally from Connecticut, like me. They watched her for a few days to make sure she didn't have a home, picked her up, got her the medical attention she needed and delivered her to me in the United States.

She couldn't be happier or healthier now in her new home. Thank you Team Goldendog for helping me save little Miss Daisy.
