BASICALLY, THE STATES DECIDE ON ABORTION AND PEOPLE ARE THRILLED WITH THE WAY THAT'S GOING ON. JUST THIS WEEK, TRUMP TELLING TIME MAGAZINE HE WON'T OBJECTIVE STATES MONITOR PREGNANT WOMEN TO MAKE SURE THEY COMPLY WITH ABORTION BANS AND WOMEN WHO VIOLATE THEM. >> TODAY, HE DOUBLED DOWN. NOW I SAY IT'S UP TO THE STATE. THEY'LL ASK ME A QUESTION ABOUT AND SAY, THAT'S UP TO THE STATE. SO I SAY TO YOU, I THINK WE DID A VERY GOOD JOB AND THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE VERY HAPPY WITH IT. >> TODAY, VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA FIRING BACK IN FLORIDA FOR THE STATE'S NEW ABORTION LAW JUST WENT INTO EFFECT, BANNING ABORTION AT SIX WEEKS BEFORE MOST WOMEN EVEN KNOW THEY ARE PREGNANT. >> BASICALLY, UNDER DONALD TRUMP, IT BE FAIR GAME FOR WOMEN TO BE MONITORED AND PUNISHED BY THE GOVERNMENT, WHEREAS JOE BIDEN AND I HAVE A DIFFERENT VIEW. >> WE BELIEVE THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD NEVER COME BETWEEN A WOMAN AND HER DOCTOR. >> BUT WHAT IS NEAR TO BAN MEANS ABORTION ACCESS IS NOW LARGELY CUT OFF ACROSS THE ENTIRE SOUTH. >> AS OF THIS, 4 MILLION WOMEN IN THIS WOKE UP WITH FEWER REPRODUCTIVE THAN THEY HAD LAST NIGHT.

RACHEL, WHAT ARE YOU HEARING FROM THE CAMPAIGNS ABOUT HOW THE ABORTION ISSUE WILL PLAY OUT COME NOVEMBER? >> YES, DONALD TRUMP LINSEY GRAHAM. ONE THING IS FOR SURE. WE KNOW THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN COUNTING ON THE ISSUE OF ABORTION RIGHTS TO GALVANIZE DEMOCRATS AND POSSIBLY EVEN INDEPENDENTS HEADING INTO NOVEMBER. BUT BOTH CAMPAIGNS ARE KEENLY AWARE THAT THIS ISSUE COULD BE ON THE BALLOT IN AS MANY AS 13 STATES, INCLUDING SEVERAL KEY BATTLEGROUND. AND THE FACT THAT ABORTION RIGHTS HAS WON EVERY SINGLE TIME THAT HAS BEEN ON BALLOT. >> LINSEY COULD BE PIVOTAL. RACHEL SCOTT FROM A EVENT IN FREMONT, MICHIGAN. THANKS SO MUCH, RACHEL. THE ARIZONA SENATE HAS APPROVED THE REPEAL THAT CIVIL WAR ERA ABORTION. TWO REPUBLICANS VOTED WITH DEMOCRATS ONE WEEK AFTER THE ARIZONA HOUSE APPROVED THE REPEAL. GOVERNOR KATIE HOBBS IS SET TO SIGN IT INTO LAW, WHICH WOULD RETURN THE STATE'S 2022 ABORTION LAW INTO EFFECT. THE 2022 LAW BANS ABORTIONS AFTER 15 WEEKS WITH NO EXCEPTIONS FOR RAPE OR INCEST. THE REPEAL CAN'T TAKE EFFECT UNTIL SOMETIME IN THE FALL. WHILE THE 1864 LAW TAKES EFFECT ON JUNE 27TH. UNLESS A COURT INTERVENES. FOR MORE ABOUT THE LATEST ABORTION BAN IN FLORIDA, WANT TO BRING IN CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER DR. ROBYN SCHEFFLER FROM PLANNED OF SOUTHWEST AND CENTRAL FLORIDA. DOCTOR, THANK YOU SO FOR JOINING US. WHAT ARE YOUR CONVERSATIONS LIKE WITH PATIENTS WHO ARRIVE AT PLANNED PARENTHOOD FOR AN ABORTION AND ARE MORE THAN SIX WEEKS PREGNANT? >> YEAH, THAT'S A VERY HARD CONVERSATION. >> AND, YOU KNOW, WE ACTUALLY DID HAVE TO START HAVING THOSE BEFORE TODAY BECAUSE WHAT IT DOES HAVE A 24 HOUR WAITING PERIOD. SO THERE WERE PATIENTS THAT WE SAW YESTERDAY AND EVEN THE DAY BEFORE THAT WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GET IN BEFORE MAY 1ST. IT'S -- IT'S A HARD CONVERSATION. >> WE TELL THEM THAT WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE ABORTION TO THEM IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA AND WE PROVIDE THEM THEIR OPTIONS. AND IF THEY WANT CONTINUE SEEKING AN ABORTION, THEN HAVE PATIENT NAVIGATORS THAT CAN HELP THEM GET TO WHERE THEY NEED TO AND GET THE RESOURCES TO GET TO WHERE NEED TO GO. >> AND SO WHEN YOU SAY YOU PROVIDE THEM OPTIONS, DOES THAT MEAN GIVE THEM RECOMMENDATIONS OUTSIDE OF THE STATE? YES. SO WE GIVE THEM RECOMMENDATION FOR DIFFERENT CLINICS THAT ARE OUTSIDE THE STATE. AND IF THEY NEED SOMETHING LIKE NAVIGATION SERVICES FROM US, WE CAN PROVIDE THAT. >> AND I WANT TO BACK UP FOR A LITTLE BIT, BECAUSE WE'VE HEARD A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS ABOUT MANY WOMEN NOT EVEN KNOWING THAT THEY'RE PREGNANT AT SIX WEEKS. IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU RUN INTO AS WELL? YES. SO THE WAY WE DATE A PREGNANCY IS WE COUNT FROM THE FIRST DAY OF THE LAST MENSTRUAL PERIOD. THAT'S ALSO BASICALLY WHAT ULTRASOUNDS GO ON. SO IF SOMEONE HAS A REGULAR PERIOD, BY THE TIME THEY'VE MISSED A PERIOD, THEY'RE ALREADY FOUR WEEKS ALONG. >> AND SO THAT GIVES THEM LITTLE TIME TO ONE, EVEN JUST REALIZE THAT THEY MISS THEIR AND TO TO OBTAIN THE CARE THAT THEY NEED FOR SIX WEEKS. IT'S REALLY A TINY AMOUNT OF TIME AND THE MAJORITY OF PATIENTS THAT I'VE SEEN IN MY PRACTICE DON'T EVEN KNOW TILL THEY'RE AT LEAST SIX WEEKS. >> AND WHAT ARE YOU HEARING FROM THESE PATIENTS RIGHT NOW, ESPECIALLY IN REGARD TO HAVING TO SEEK HEALTH CARE OUT OF THE OF FLORIDA, THAT THESE PATIENTS ARE FRUSTRATED. YOU KNOW, AND IT'S A MIXTURE. SOME PATIENTS ARE AWARE OF WHAT'S GOING ON. >> SOME PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, ARE BUSY IN THEIR LIVES AND DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO KEEP TRACK OF EVERYTHING ON. AND SO IT'S THE FIRST TIME THEY'VE HEARD ABOUT IT. WHEN WE SAY WE CAN'T TAKE CARE OF THEM. >> THEY'RE FRUSTRATED. >> THEY'RE MAD. THEY THEY JUST CAME IN TO GET HEALTH CARE. >> NOW THEY'RE BEING TOLD THAT THEY CAN'T AND THAT THEY HAVE TO TRAVEL HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS OF MILES OUT OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA FROM THEIR HOME TO GET THAT CARE. AND WITH THE SIX WEEK BAN NOW TAKING EFFECT, WHAT CONCERNS YOU MOST WITH REGARD TO A PREGNANT PERSON'S PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH? YEAH, I THINK, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE A PREGNANCY THAT PUT THEM AT HIGH RISK OF BOTH PHYSICAL AND MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL FARM AND ANGUISH AND DISTRESS. AND I THINK WE'RE GOING TO SEE AN INCREASE IN THINGS LIKE MATERNAL MORBIDITY OR SICK WOMEN WHO ARE PREGNANT BECAUSE WE CAN'T INTERVENE. ANY OF THAT HAPPENS. CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT WHAT'S NEXT. BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT THAT STILL ISN'T KNOWN, AS YOU SAID, EVEN FOR SOMEBODY TO DEFINE WHAT CONSTITUTES PUTTING THE MOTHER'S LIFE AT RISK. AND I KNOW THAT THERE'S AN AMENDMENT ON THE BALLOT FOR THE NOVEMBER ELECTION TO LIMIT THE GOVERNOR GOVERNMENT'S POWER. TELL US WHAT THAT AMENDMENT SEEKS TO DO. YES. SO THIS AMENDMENT IS REALLY TO GET OUR RIGHTS BACK IS TO HAVE TO BE ABLE TO SEEK MEDICAL AND OBTAIN THAT MEDICAL CARE WITHOUT THE GOVERNMENT INTERVIEW IN THAT CARE. AND WE DESERVE THAT RIGHT. OUR PATIENTS DESERVE THAT RIGHT TO SEEK WHATEVER CARE THEY NEED. AND ABORTION HAPPENS TO BE PART OF THAT MEDICAL CARE FOR MANY PEOPLE. DR. ROBIN SCHINDLER, WE THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND INSIGHT. REALLY APPRECIATE. >> THANK YOU.

DODGE CITY, KANSAS, GARDEN CITY, DOWN TO LUBBOCK IN THAT WATCH. I EXPECT THOSE WILL KEEP EXTENDING EAST AS WE GO THROUGH THE NIGHT.

SO A LOT OF PEOPLE GOING TO GET DUMPED ON WITH RAIN TONIGHT INTO EARLY TOMORROW. THEN LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS INTO THE LATER HOURS, BECAUSE THIS DOESN'T JUST STOP ONCE THE SUN GOES DOWN. IN FACT, IT WILL KEEP ON KEEPING ON UP TILL MIDNIGHT AND BEYOND. EVEN DALLAS WORTH COULD TEAR SOME RUBBLE.

AND WOULD YOU SAY THAT THEY'RE THE SAME TODAY? >> SOME OF THEM CERTAINLY OVERLAP, BUT THE NEED FOR FINANCIAL SUPPORT, THE NEED TO MAINTAIN INFRASTRUCTURE TO MEET, TO RECRUIT FACULTY. >> I THINK THOSE THINGS REMAIN THE SAME.

SALEM NEEDS TO RAISE CLOSE TO $32 MILLION IN ORDER TO PAY ITS DEBTORS AND KEEP THE DOORS OPEN. >> HISTORICALLY, BLACK UNIVERSITIES IN INSTITUTIONS BOTH PRIVATE AND PUBLIC ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE HISTORICALLY UNDERFUNDED DUE TO STATE AND FEDERAL UNDERINVESTMENT. LOWER ENDOWMENTS, LESS ALUMNI SUPPORT. >> ALUMNI GIVING IS VERY CRITICAL, AND THAT'S AN AREA WHERE ALL OF OUR INSTITUTION COULD STAND TO TO PERFORM BETTER.

THE GOVERNMENT PREDICTS A RISK OF FLOODING ACROSS THE ENTIRE STATE AS WELL AS LANDSLIDES IN SOME REGIONS BECAUSE HEAVY RAIN IS EXPECTED FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. AND 60 U.S. TROOPS HAVE LEFT CHAD AS PART OF A U.S. SECURITY REVIEW THE REGION. THE PENTAGON CONFIRMED THAT TODAY. THE MOVE IS REPORTEDLY TEMPORARY UNTIL AFTER CHAD'S PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION LAST MONTH IN NEIGHBORING NIGER. HUNDREDS TOOK TO THE STREETS TO DEMAND THE DEPARTURE U.S. TROOPS AFTER THE RULING QUARTER ENDED A MILITARY ACCORD WITH THE UNITED STATES. TALKS ARE STILL UNDER WAY ABOUT THE PACE OF U.S.. AND IN INDONESIA, 12,000 PEOPLE ARE BEING EVACUATED AFTER THE RULING VOLCANO BEGAN ERUPTING, SPEWING FIRE AND ROCKS. THE MASSIVE ERUPTION COULD TRIGGER A TSUNAMI, SO THOUSANDS OF RESIDENTS OF THE ISLAND NEAREST THE VOLCANO ARE WAITING TO BE EVACUATED BY MILITARY BOAT. A SERIES OF ERUPTIONS, APRIL DAMAGED HOMES AND CLOSED THE NEAREST AIRPORT. NOW TO AN INSPIRING STORY THAT REDEFINES TEEN SPIRIT. >> THIS THE TIME OF YEAR CHEERLEADING AND DANCE HITS THE WORLD STAGE IN FLORIDA ,FLIPPING A SCRIPT AS FANS CHEER ON THE CHEERLEADERS. AND AS ABC'S DISCOVERED, THE SPORT IS NOW MORE INCLUSIVE THAN EVER. AS INCREDIBLE ATHLETES AND THEIR MOMS REVEAL WHAT THEY'VE OVERCOME TO CLEAR THE PATH FOR PARALYMPIC GOLD FROM, THE MAT TO THE LIFTS ,TUMBLES AND FLIPS. CHEER IS A SPORT THAT BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER ACROSS GENDERS, AGES AND ABILITIES. THIS IS FUN. AND FOR ATHLETES LIKE KENNEDY, ELVIE AND, JADEN PIERCE, AN OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME TO REPRESENT THE U.S. ON THE WORLD STAGE. >> I HEREBY DECLARE THESE 2024 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS OPEN AT THE INTERNATIONAL CHEER UNION WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS. >> IT'S. YEAH. YEAH. IT'S PRETTY AWESOME. ESPECIALLY FOR SOMEONE LIKE. FOR MANY PEOPLE TO NOT THINK THAT I'D BE ABLE TO DO. THE STUFF THAT I'M DOING RIGHT NOW. SO IT'S JUST MY CHANCE HAD A HUGE IMPACT JUST FOR CANDY, FOR HER CONFIDENCE AND, FOR HER COMMUNICATION SKILLS AND HER SOCIALIZATION. IN 2023, U.S. CHEER WAS RECOGNIZED AS A SPORTS ORGANIZATION BY NOT JUST THE OLYMPIC COMMITTEE, BUT ALSO THE PARALYMPIC, GIVING THE SPORT A MUCH BIGGER PLATFORM. I STARTED 2017 WORKING WITH DISABLED ATHLETES AND, REALLY HELPING THEM SHINE AND CHEERLEADING AND DANCE. THAT WAS ENERGY. >> LEE TRUDEL IS THE DIRECTOR OF SPECIAL OLYMPICS AND ADAPTIVE ABILITIES CHEER TEAMS. WHY IS INCLUSION SO IMPORTANT? INCLUSION IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT'S PART OF THE WORLD, PART OF OUR EVERYDAY LIFE. SO IT'S JUST GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE ATHLETES, THE FAMILIES, TO REALLY SHOWCASE AND SHINE ON WHAT THEY CAN DO. I'LL ALWAYS BE STRONG, ALWAYS PUTTING OUT OUR BEST AS TEAM. KENNEDY WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A RARE GENETIC DISORDER. >> WE DIDN'T ACTUALLY KNOW SHE'D BE ABLE TO WALK OR TALK AT THE BEGINNING, SO WE DIDN'T REALLY KNOW OUR FUTURE. >> HER MOM, LISA, PUT HER IN CHEER ALONG WITH HER OLDER SISTERS. >> I JUST KIND OF WANTED TO BE JUST LIKE HER BIG SISTERS. SO THAT'S WHERE I KIND OF STARTED, I GUESS. SHE DECIDED TO TRY OUT FOR THE SCHOOL CHEER TEAM. SO THAT'S WHERE IT REALLY STARTED TO GROW. >> AND THAT BECAME HER WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD. AND SO CHEER WAS, YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING. SHE FELT PART OF THE SCHOOL. YOU KNOW, SHE FELT LIKE SHE WAS PART OF SOMETHING. >> AND WOULD YOU SAY THAT CHEER HELPED? KENNEDY WE HAVE A COMMUNITY NOW, AND IT IS OUR WHOLE WORLD RIGHT NOW? AND THAT IS SMALL AND MIGHTY. HE'S A DAILY INSPIRATION TO ME . >> AT THREE YEARS OLD, JADEN LOST HIS HEARING FROM COMPLICATIONS WITH A BRAIN TUMOR. HE CAN ENDURE JUST ABOUT ANYTHING AND COME OUT OF THAT STANDING ON TOP. JADEN'S MOM, ANGELA, A CHEER COACH, ENCOURAGED AND HIS BROTHER BAILEY TO PARTICIPATE IN CHEER. WHAT KIND OF IMPACT HAS THIS TEAM HAD ON YOUR FAMILY? A BIG ONE. YOU KNOW JADEN WITH A QUOTE UNQUOTE NORMAL BOY WHEN HE WAS LITTLE. AND SO WE HAD TO GO THROUGH THE STRUGGLES WITH HIM. HE'S HAD SO MANY TO OVERCOME. HE WASN'T SWALLOWING. HE LOST HEARING. BUT THROUGHOUT THAT PROCESS, YOU KNOW, WE SAW HOW MANY TIMES HE WASN'T NECESSARILY INCLUDED IN EVERYTHING EQUALLY WITH HIS PEERS. SO TO BE ABLE TO BE A PART OF SOMETHING THAT PROMOTES INCLUSION AND, EVERYBODY BEING SIDE BY SIDE. EQUALLY IMPORTANT. CHEERS OPENED UP A LOT OF DOORS TO ME IN MY LIFE, AND I THINK IT'S A HUGE BLESSING. >> WATCH IT OPEN UP DOORS FOR MY KIDS AS WELL THROUGH HARD WORK AND PERSEVERE. BOTH JADEN AND KENNEDY ARE PART OF US EACH YEAR PARTICIPATING THE ICU WORLD CHEERLEADING AND DANCE CHAMPIONSHIP IN ORLANDO. WHEN SPECIAL OLYMPICS CAME, IT BECAME A WHOLE WORLD SPECIAL. BEING HERE WITH THE USA TO BE JUST ON TOP OF THE WORLD. HOW EXCITED WERE YOU TO MAKE THE TEAM? >> I WAS SO EXCITED. NOW HERE WE GO. >> TELL US, HOW'S TEAM USA AT ALL THE WAY. IT'S THE BEST THEY'VE EVER BEEN. WHAT ARE YOUR HOPES FOR YOUR TEAMS? >> JUST TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEMSELVES. SO AS LONG AS THEY'RE CONFIDENT, AS LONG AS THEY FEEL GOOD ABOUT WHAT THEY DID ON THE FLOOR, THAT'S ALL WE CAN ASK OF THEM AT THE COMPETITION . THE USA ADAPTIVE ABILITIES TEAM TAKING HOME THE SILVER MEDAL, THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS TEAM, TWO GOLD MEDALS FOR HOME AND HIP HOP. >> HOW PROUD ARE YOU OF TRAINING? OH, IMMEASURABLY PROUD. I'M SO PROUD OF YOU. KEEP YOUR EYES UP. YOU KNOW, WHEN I ASK YOU ANYTHING ABOUT THE TEAM, HOW MUCH YOU LOVE COMPETING FOR TEAM USA? I LEARNED A LOT FOR CHEER AND INSPIRING OTHERS. I JUST WANT TO SAY, DON'T GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS AND YOUR VISIONS. BECAUSE IN YOUR CURRENT SITUATION OR WHAT YOU THINK YOU CAN DO CAN HOLD YOU BACK FROM WHAT YOU WANT TO DO. ANYONE CAN DO ANYTHING. A LOT OF ARE COMING INTO THE TOURNAMENT AND HAVING THEIR MIND IN THE RIGHT PLACE. THEY CAN DO IT. WHAT DO YOU WRITE DOWN A GREAT MESSAGE FOR US ALL THERE. >> THANKS TO VICTOR FOR THAT. AND STILL TO COME, HOW A COMMUNITY OF AMATEUR SLEUTHS HOPE TO FIND A LOST ART, FIND HIS WAY HOME. WHAT DO YOU SAY MANY PEOPLE START THEIR DAY HERE FROM ABC NEWS THIS IS "START HERE". TO BE IN THE KNOW AND GET A DIFFERENT TAKE ON THE DAY'S TOP. A LOT OF NEWS TODAY SO LET'S GET INTO IT. LISTEN NOW TO THE DAILY PODCAST. HONORED WITH FOR EDWARD ARE MURROW AWARDS AND. SEE WHY THE NEW YORK TIMES CALLS IT A NEWS PODCAST WORTH LISTENING TO START HERE. ABC NEWS MAKE IT YOUR DAILY FIRST LISTEN. >> NOW THAT'S A PART OF THE STORY THAT YOU DIDN'T SEE COMING. >> WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR PODCASTS, START HERE. THIS NOT ABOUT PARENTS WHO JUST LET THEIR KID WATCH VIOLENT MOVIES PLAY VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES. THIS IS ABOUT PARENTS WHO LEFT WITH THEIR SON OR CRIES FOR HELP. THEY'RE WALKING DOWN THOSE PARENTS IN AMERICA TO BE CHARGED IN A SCHOOL SHOOTING AND PURCHASE THAT GUN AND BRAG ABOUT IT. YOU DON'T GET TO WALK AWAY FROM THAT. >> THAT'S A COMMON SINS OF THE PARENTS, THE CRUMBLY TRIALS. THE OPPOSITE OF LOVE IS NOT HATE. IT'S JUST BEING IGNORED. >> AND THE UNHOLY IS THAT YOU? GOOD. THAT'S ME AND MY BIG . HOW MUCH DO YOU MAKE ON ONLYFANS VERSUS, SAY, AN EPISODE ON SOPRANOS? OH, WAY MORE THAN ONLY FANS. CELEBRITIES CAN ABSOLUTELY MAKE . A LIVING ON ONLYFANS BELLA IS THE MODEL. SHE MADE IT OVER 20 MILLION. DO YOU CONSIDER WHAT YOU DO? OR WORK? ONLYFANS NOT JUST IF I HAD IT TO ALL OVER AGAIN, I WOULD HAVE DONE IT SOONER THAN THAN WOMEN. >> WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE THE MOST WATCHED NEWSCAST IN AMERICA? WE ARE PART OF AN OPERATION. COMBAT OPERATIONS. WE'RE APPROACHING THE GATE. MILITANTS CAME IN FROM DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. THEIR REACTORS LEAVE A COUPLE LOADED AND READY TO GO. THE HOUSE IS DESTROYED, BUT THE FLAG, HOW IMPORTANT IT MADE THE USA. GREAT WORK. HI, IT'S DAVID. I'M DAVID. YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE. NIGHT. ABC'S WORLD NEWS TONIGHT WITH DAVID MUIR IS AMERICA'S WATCHED NEWSCAST ONLY AN MODERN WORLD? BECAUSE THIS NEXT STORY HAS A HAPPY ENDING. IT INVOLVES A LOST A DISTRAUGHT OWNER AND A COMMUNITY OF AMATEUR SLEUTHS CHIPPING IN TO HELP. ABC'S DANNY NEW HAS THIS HEARTWARMING TALE AS WE KNOW WHEN THE INTERNET DECIDES IT'S COLLECTIVELY GOING TO SOLVE A CASE THE INVESTIGATION CAN BE QUITE GALVANIZING. SO THIS IS ONE OF THOSE MOMENTS WHERE WE'RE THANKFUL FOR SOCIAL MEDIA. >> YES. A FEW WEEKS AGO WHEN HANNAH HERE WAS ON A BUSINESS AWAY FROM HER HOME IN ATLANTA TO A LOCAL, SHE GOT A CALL THAT HER BEST GOOD YOGA PAL. >> HAZEL WAS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND. MY HEART JUST DROPPED. >> BASICALLY, HAZEL HAD EATEN SOMETHING NOT GREAT FOR HER. AND WHEN THE DOG SITTER TOOK HER TO THE VET, ACCORDING TO HANNAH, HAZEL WAS TAKEN OUTSIDE AND STILL HAD A CATHETER IN HER LEG, TAKEN OUTSIDE A LEASH. >> HAZEL RAN AWAY FROM THE ANIMAL HOSPITAL, BUT THAT'S WHEN HANNAH ASKED FOLKS ON SOCIAL MEDIA FOR HELP. WITHIN HOURS, SHE HAD PEOPLE FROM AS FAR AWAY AS AUSTRALIA ON THE CASE. >> I WOULD CALL LIKE THE CAR WASH THAT WAS ON THE STREET THAT HAZEL WAS FOUND ON TO SEE IF MAYBE THEY HAD SURVEILLANCE FOOTAGE. AND THE GUY WAS LIKE, I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH SOMEONE ASKING ME FOR THAT. >> AFTER FIVE DAYS OF PHONE CALLS AND FLIERS, A WOMAN FOUND HAZEL ON HER PORCH AND. YOU CAN PROBABLY GUESS HOW SHE RECOGNIZED HER. HANNAH AND HAZEL WERE FINALLY REUNITED. >> SHE HAD LOST A THIRD OF HER BODY WEIGHT, BUT SAT ON MOM'S LAP THE WAY TO A DIFFERENT VET . >> THEN HAZEL IMMEDIATELY ATE THE TREATS SHE WANTED AND PROCEEDED TO SLEEP AROUND THE CLOCK FOR THREE DAYS. >> AS YOU DO WHEN YOU'RE FINALLY HOME SAFE, I SEE JUST. >> HOW MUCH SO MANY PEOPLE DID.
