SUPER=75-Tampa, FL;
Antonia Sanabria was returning to Tampa from her birthday celebration in
Pensacola where she received "Cookie" as a gift.
At 3-AM, the driver stopped the bus, told her dogs weren't allowed, and
made her get off at a rural truck stop.
Someone called the police and Sanabria said she thought she was going to
jail.
Instead five officers shuttled her from county to county until she and
Cookie finally made it home.
