Woman Arrested For Abandoning Dog At The Airport After Being Told She Couldn’t Bring It On Board
A woman has been arrested after dumping her dog at a Las Vegas airport when she was told she couldn’t bring it on board.
Germiran Bryson, 26, attempted to check in with her 2-year-old goldendoodle/mini-poodle mix but was denied a boarding pass because she failed to complete required service dog documentation.
Her solution? Tie the dog to the JetBlue ticket counter and leave for the departure gate:

The woman was told the goldendoodle couldn't fly because it wasn't a registered service animal.

What kind of heartless monster does something like this? Abandon your loyal goldendoodle/mini-poodle mix at the airport because you’re too dumb to sort out its papers? Absolute maniacal behaviour.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said: “Airline staff advised the dog’s owner she was required to complete online documentation in order to travel with the animal as a service dog.”
“When the required paperwork was not completed, the passenger was denied a boarding pass. She then left the dog behind and proceeded through the airport to the departure gate.”
“Officers later located the individual at Gate D1. When asked why she abandoned the dog, she stated the airline would not allow her to fly with it and claimed the dog had a tracking device — implying it was acceptable to leave the animal behind and it would return to her.”
She thought because the dog had a “tracking device” it would be alright? What a dummy!
Germiran Bryson was charged with animal abandonment and resisting arrest, and the dog was sent to an Animal Protective Services’ holding.
Funnily enough, Bryson never tried reclaiming the dog, which I think we can all agree is for the best.
The dog – now affectionately named ‘Jet Blue’ – is up for adoption. Here’s hoping it goes to a normal person who actually wants it this time and has a chance to live a happy life. Justice for Jet Blue!
