Woman arrested after abandoning 2-year-old goldendoodle at Las Vegas airport, but he gets his happy ending after being adopted by one of the responding police officers

After experiencing quite a bit of emotional turbulence, Jet Blue, the goldendoodle, has safely landed with his new forever family in Las Vegas.

This story is a bumpy ride, so make sure your seatbelts are fastened and your tray tables stored for the remainder of this listicle.

A passenger showed up at the Las Vegas airport without the proper documentation for her goldendoodle to board the plane with her. Instead of doing what any logical pet pawrent would do, she tied her poor pup to the airline stand and continued through security to board her plane, abandoning him there. She was later stopped and arrested for her act, facing up to 10 days in jail with the option to claim her dog at the end. Spoiler alert: she never did.

But luckily, this pup was saved by the ticketing agents, who called the authorities and got him to a local animal shelter. They named him Jet Blue, after the station he was found at. After posting about his story, they literally got thousands of emails from potential pawrents, hoping to take this adorable doodle home. In the end, Skeeter Black, one of the police officers who arrived to handle the case, ended up taking Jet Blue back to his family so he would never experience abandonment again.

Who in their right mind would think to just leave the dog there? They clearly didn't care about this pup, and we couldn't be happier to know that they faced the consequences of their actions. Even more important than the karmic justice is the fact that Jet Blue safely has a home where he is loved and cared for. On top of that, the actual company, JetBlue, donated around $6,000 to the shelter to help dogs like him find their furrever homes!

As terrible as this story is, we would be lying if we weren't happy to see a bit of justice come to someone who would do something so horrible to their dog. We can't even begin to imagine what was going through her head, but Jet Blue seems to have dodged a bullet and is now safely with pawrents who love him.
