“They had brought her out by the Hyatt Hotel when she slipped away about midday,” Procopio said.

Jessie, a 10-pound spaniel mix, had just arrived at Logan Thursday when she slipped her collar, State Police spokesman Dave Procopio said.

A rescue dog from Puerto Rico that slipped away from its handler and went on the lam at Logan International Airport has been found, State Police said Friday.

Jessie was coming to the United States after being a stray in Puerto Rico, where she lived on the beaches and streets. She was described as shy. People had been advised not to chase her.


She was found in the airport by a Massport Authority worker around 9 a.m. Friday, Procopio said.

“The Massport employees deserve a lot of credit. This is the second dog they’ve rescued recently, so they’re getting pretty good at it,” he said.

It’s the second time in recent weeks that a dog has eluded people at Logan. Chloe, a 10-pound fox terrier, rambled around the airport for several days after jumping out of a car there on June 11.

Missing Dogs Massachusetts, an organization that reports on lost dogs, wrote on its Facebook page that Jessie was quickly reunited with her owner Friday morning.

“Little Jessie, lost at Logan Airport, is safe!” they said.
