In a bewildering incident at a Las Vegas airport, a woman found herself caught in a controversial situation after tying her dog to an object and walking away. Security footage reveals her cheerfully chatting with an employee at the checked baggage counter before she decided it was perfectly fine to leave her two-year-old golden doodle/mini poodle behind, claiming it had a tracking device that would keep everything under control.

Police officers didn’t share her confidence and confronted her at the departure gate. They arrested her for animal abandonment and resisting arrest, holding onto her pup for ten days while the owner mysteriously chose not to return. Thankfully, a local shelter stepped in to find the furry friend, now aptly renamed Jet Blue, a forever home. You have to wonder, though—what goes through someone’s mind when they think it’s okay to leave their dog behind at the airport?
