This story will make you smile...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
An American Airlines pilot helped find 9-year-old Valentina’s American Girl doll named Beatrice, who got separated during a family trip through Tokyo, Japan.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When the doll was first lost, the girl’s parents contacted the airport they flew out of, and the airline, but no one could find Beatrice. So, they posted about it online, and pretty soon, word got to first officer Jim Danen.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
He’s a pilot who actually lives pretty close to Valentina and her family and regularly flies to Tokyo.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It took two separate visits to the airport lost and found, but he discovered the doll, scooped her up, and took pictures of the doll on her journey home.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Valentina thanked her new pilot friend and asked whether Beatrice had been well-behaved on the flight. (She had).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Her parents are incredibly grateful, and they said this is just another sign there’s a lot of kindness still left in the world.
