Back in about 1993 or 94, we were flying back to San Antonio from showing in Omaha, and we were traveling with Sel Ch. Spellbinder, and one of his daughters. That day they had gone BOB and WB together. Our plane was delayed getting into Houston, because of bad thunderstorms, and when we landed, we were told we had to RUN to the San Antonio gate, as the plane was leaving. Needless to say, the door was slammed in our faces. We had to wait 2 hours for the last flight - We were told out dogs were resting safely in a secure building, out of the thunderstorm. When they finally called us to our flight, naturally we checked on our dogs before boarding. NO ONE COULD LOCATE THEM.! We waited to board as the plane filled up. Everyone seemed to be on board. Only BOb and I were waiting at the door, discussing the situation with attendants. Suddenly 2 last passengers walked up,. since we were obviously distressed - they asked what was wrong - Lo! It was David Robinson and Sean Elliott of the San Antonio Spurs. When we told them that the airline had misplaced our show German Shepherds, they leaned against the wall next to us and told the attendants that the flight was not leaving under our dogs were found. Everyone jumped then. They head the flight. Finally someone had the bring idea to call San Antonio and check to see if the dogs had made the original connecting flight and were waiting in San Antonio for us. Only then did David and Sean board the plane, and when we followed, all the passengers cheered and clapped. I am not sure if the passengers were glad we had found out dogs or it they were just ecstatic that the door was finally closing so that they could all get home. Totally they held that flight 30 minutes trying to find our dogs. We were so grateful to Sean and David for their help! And that basically is why we eventually quit flying and bought an R. V.
