The Goodness of America
Well-traveled Doll
When nine-year-old Valentina Dominguez lost her beloved American Girl doll Beatrice returning home to Plano, Texas, from a family trip to Tokyo in August, she feared she would never see the doll again. But thanks to American Airlines First Officer James Danen, the two were reunited.
When Valentina and her family returned to their home in Plano following their flight from Japan, they searched frantically through their luggage hoping to find the doll, only to realize they likely lost it at Haneda Airport in Tokyo or left it on the airplane.
“Beatrice was a big part of our lives for the past three or four years,” Valentina’s father, Rudy, told radio station WFAA.
