NEW: Woman arrested after ditching her dog at the Las Vegas airport when she was told she couldn't bring it on board. The woman was told the goldendoodle couldn't fly because it wasn't a registered service animal. Instead of leaving the airport, the woman decided to tie the dog to the JetBlue ticket counter and leave for the departure gate. "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," said the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. "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." The woman then became "hostile" and resisted officers who tried to detain her. She was charged with animal abandonment and resisting arrest. The dog was sent to an Animal Protective Services' holding for 10 days. The owner never tried reclaiming the dog, who will now be up for adoption. "The dog — now affectionately named “Jet Blue” — is safe, in foster care, and will soon be placed in a new, loving home," LVMPD said.
