Jet Blue, the goldendoodle left stranded at a Las Vegas airport on Feb. 2, has been adopted by one of the police officers that saved him.
A dog abandoned at Harry Reid International Airport this month has found his forever home, which so happens to be with one of the Las Vegas Metropolitan police officers who saved him.
Jet Blue, a 2-year-old mini goldendoodle, is now a part of LVMPD Officer Skeeter Black's family, the law enforcement agency announced Feb. 21 in a Facebook post.
"Bon voyage, Jet Blue and welcome to a new life where you'll be loved beyond words by Officer Black and his family," the post says.
Black, along with some of his fellow officers, helped rescue Jet Blue after a woman left the pup tied to a metal carry-on baggage sizer and stranded at Jet Blue airline's ticket counter just after 11:30 a.m. on Feb. 2. The woman, identified in court records obtained by USA TODAY as Germiran Bryson, allegedly left the dog behind after she was denied a boarding pass when documentation to travel with the pup as a service animal was not completed, police said in its initial Facebook post regarding the incident.
Bryson, 26, seen in bodycam footage the department included in its initial post, claimed that she went to the gate to "rebook my flight." LVMPD said she told officers that the dog had a tracking device, "implying it was acceptable to leave the animal behind and it would return to her."
