A family from California goes on vacation to Hawaii and discovers an adorable little beagle in Hilo on the big island. They believe they have fallen in love and adopt her, bringing her back to their home in San Bernardino County.
But then some six years later, they decide to go back to Hawaii for a six-week vacation, and what do they do with their beloved dog? Obviously, finding a sitter or boarding are pricey options. Instead, they decide to simply surrender her to their local shelter rather than find a place for her while they are away.
