Volunteers in China, Canada and the U.S. chartered a plane to reunite North Americans with the pets they were forced to leave behind when they left China during the pandemic.

Arranging the flight was no easy task. Dozens of group members -- from China, the U.S. and Canada -- collaborated on different parts of the plan often with more than half a day's hour difference between them. Nights were long and sleepless.

"It's been a whirlwind and definitely never in my wildest dreams did I think that creating a WeChat group was going to lead me here six weeks later," Robertson told CNN. "Chartering a flight across the ocean for my dog."The journey has been a ray of light amid dark times, some group members say, a reminder of what strong collaboration can look like when everyone feels so isolated.

One of the last moments she recalls spending with her rescue, Ted, was the dog's long licks on her face, shortly before a phone call let her know her dad had passed away. "I've never met Kyla and she's willing to accompany my dog on a 12-hour flight. And that's amazing," Hooper said. "When the world has been so dark for the last few months, it's really added a lot of light in the last few days."a group of strangers form their own determined committee to bring their pets back home. The long nights and endless communications, she says, have been worth it.

"Every night, I stayed up to talk to people in China," she said. "Can you imagine? Those people back in China stayed up all night to talk to Canada and to talk to everybody to try to figure these things out."
