Elizabeth Sunshine was rushing to the airport in Newark, N.J. She had a date to meet her new baby in person for the very first time, and she was running late.
The baby’s couriers — a friendly couple from Connecticut — waited patiently, and when Sunshine arrived they handed her a small, squirmy, squishy black puppy named Wilma. Wilma’s journey had been anything but ordinary. Known as a “potcake dog,” she began her life without anyone to look after her on the streets and beaches of the Caicos Islands. Potcake Place, a dog-rescue organization based on the island of Providenciales, went to great lengths to connect Wilma with a good home in the United States, and also made arrangements for the vacationing tourists from Connecticut to fly Wilma all the way to her new owner.

They may be tourist dependant islands but a few may be turned off knowing that this happens. Thank God this woman came up with the idea. The authorities should be finding a humane solution , but instead shoot /poison them and leave them to die. How do they sleep at night knowing they hurt an innocent creature? The babies wouldn't have been in this position if the authorites had taken the time to solve the problem instead of a cruel fast fix.
Hopefully now that the story is in the mainstream news, this woman will get a lot more help financially. Perhaps more tourists will play Santa for these cute little pups and deliver them to loving homes.
