The best thing that ever happened to this dog was being abandoned by someone who never deserved him.A woman was arrested at Las Vegas International Airport after abandoning her two year old Goldendoodle at a JetBlue counter and attempting to board her flight without him. According to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police, the woman had failed to complete the necessary paperwork required for the dog to fly as a service animal. Rather than resolving the situation, she tied the dog to a baggage sizer at the counter and walked toward the boarding gate. When airport staff and police confronted her, she claimed the dog had a tracking device and would return on his own. She became hostile with officers and was charged with animal abandonment and resisting arrest.The dog, now renamed JetBlue after the terminal where he was found, was taken into the care of Retriever Rescue of Las Vegas. Photos show the Goldendoodle looking healthy, happy, and completely unaware that he was just abandoned by the person who was supposed to protect him. The rescue organization confirmed that JetBlue is safe and is now awaiting adoption into a permanent home. The story has gone viral, with thousands of people expressing interest in adopting him and outrage toward the woman who left him behind. Airport security footage captured the moment she walked away from the dog, which has been shared widely online.She left him tied to a counter like a piece of unclaimed luggage but he ended up with a new name and a line of people waiting to give him the home he always deserved.
