Victoria's wish to bring her dog from Colombia

From Colombia With Love: A Girl, A Dog and a Wish

When 10-year-old Victoria moved from Colombia to South Florida to receive treatment for her kidney disease, she had to make a heartbreaking decision — to leave behind her beloved Pomeranian, Tequila. The two had been inseparable, and the distance made her treatment journey even more difficult. So when it came time to choose her wish, Victoria didn’t hesitate. More than anything, she wanted to be reunited with her best friend.

On wish day, Victoria believed she was heading to the airport to greet a family friend arriving from Colombia. But as she waited at baggage claim, something magical happened — Tequila came bounding toward her, tail wagging and eyes full of excitement. Victoria dropped everything and ran to her furry companion, embracing her with tears of joy after nearly a year and a half apart. The rest of the day was filled with laughter, cuddles, and playtime.

Now, Tequila is more than just a pet — she’s a source of comfort and strength, accompanying Victoria to her treatments and bringing light to even the toughest days. Their reunion was more than a wish come true; it was the beginning of a new chapter filled with hope, healing, and unconditional love.
