Officer Adopts Dog Abandoned At Las Vegas Airport
Jet Blue, an approximately 2-year-old goldendoodle left at a JetBlue counter on Feb. 2, was adopted by LVMPD Officer Skeeter Black, the department announced Feb. 21.
Overview
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department announced Feb. 21 that Jet Blue, a roughly 2-year-old goldendoodle left at a JetBlue ticket counter on Feb. 2, was adopted by Officer Skeeter Black and his family.
The dog had been left tied to a metal carry-on baggage sizer just after 11:30 a.m. on Feb. 2 after airline staff denied boarding when service-animal documentation was incomplete, authorities said.
LVMPD released bodycam footage, thanked the community for support and said the woman, identified in court records as Germiran Bryson, became hostile and resisted officers during the incident.
After a mandatory 10-day shelter hold, Retriever Rescue of Las Vegas received over 2,500 adoption applications before placing the dog with Officer Black, and court records show Bryson faces misdemeanor counts including animal abandonment.
Court records list Bryson’s next court date as March 31, and Retriever Rescue said it will ensure accountability while the dog begins life with an approved adopter who sought a goldendoodle since September 2025.
Analysis
Center-leaning sources present a straightforward, fact-focused account built from police and charity statements, video description, and social-media posts. Editorial language is minimal and evaluative lines (e.g., 'she became hostile'; 'We can't believe we have to say this') are clearly attributed to police or Facebook. The owner’s voice is absent but not spun.
