A 26-year-old woman is facing potential jail time after allegedly abandoning her two-year-old goldendoodle at a JetBlue ticket counter in Las Vegas’ Harry Reid International Airport last month.

Abandonment at the Airport

Germiran Bryson reportedly left the dog because she was unable to provide documentation proving it was a registered service animal and was eager to board her flight. Airport staff prevented her from taking the dog onto the plane.

Claims of Disability and Lack of Proof

Bryson’s brother, Gerrayl, claimed she relied on the dog due to an injury sustained during her time in the Army, suggesting she was a disabled veteran. A family member also informed Judge Diana Sullivan that Bryson was hospitalized out of state.

However, no supporting evidence was presented to the court. This led Judge Sullivan to issue a warrant for Bryson’s arrest, allowing any law enforcement officer to detain her.

Confrontation and Dog's Rescue

Following the abandonment, Bryson allegedly threatened to contact “animal control.” A Las Vegas police officer stated, “What we’re gonna do is walk you back to where your dog’s at and give you a citation, because you left your dog at the ticket counter.”

Bryson also attempted to blame airport staff, claiming it was “acceptable to leave her dog behind.” The rescued pup, now named JetBlue, is being cared for by an animal rescue organization.

JetBlue Finds a New Home

Danielle Roth, founder of the rescue organization, described the dog as affectionate, stating he “licked our faces, wagged his tail and jumped on us” after being rescued. The organization assures the public that JetBlue “will soon be placed in a new, loving home.”
