More than a dozen golden retrievers are resting in metro Atlanta after a long overseas flight.
 
Channel 2 Action News was there early Sunday morning as the 15 dogs arrived at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.
 
The rescue group Adopt a Golden Atlanta brought the dogs from Istanbul, Turkey.
 
They are the second group from Turkey. The first arrived in May.   
 
The dogs range in age from 6 months to 3 years old.
 
The rescue group is only going to adopt the dogs out to people who live in Georgia because the animals have already traveled so far.
