Its a bruise, which makes it look much worse then it actually is.
Not saying that its not a bad experience for this woman, but its not anything I would consider a "really bad injury". Considering she claims it was a big dog, things could have been much worse. She is lucky that the dog just nipped at her, and didn't tear at her leg like she is claiming.
The picture looks to me like there are several tooth puncture marks within that bruise on her leg.
Lady was standing in the line at a Jetblue check in when the dog bit her. You can put 2 and 2 together. Unless the dog was out of his leash and was just running out of control all over the terminal.
It wasn't JetBlue's terminal, it was a JetBlue passenger that was bite, the dog was not with another JetBlue passenger, JetBlue was not responsible for the dog's actions

Cowboy hero tactics?? It's called police work. Passenger probably took a taxi or had a friend drop him off at the airport. If he took public transportation then it might be a little trickier. I am guessing you want the owner and doggy to be free of responsibility.
Police work, not airline ticket counter employee work. It's still a bit of Hollywood in your head running down someone and grabbing their plates but whatever you've built your own story already
Once a biter always a biter. Pitbull needs to be put down or be placed with a responsible dog owner.<>
There is an interesting case I was following about a dog that the police had confiscated as an illegal pit bull based on a neighbor's complaint. Turns out the police used the classic "I know a pit bull when I see one." claim. DNA proved the dog was not a prohibited species.
My point, and I did have one, is how did they know this was a pitbull based on the very brief encounter. Mr. Ryu, all we know is what we read, but how does the victim know this was a pitty? We have no DNA or even pictures, eh?
This is one of those stories where we never find out the final outcome.
My favorite reference site, wiki, has this to say (emphasis added):
"The term pit bull is often used loosely to describe dogs with similar physical
characteristics, and the morphological (physical) variation amongst "bully breed" dogs makes it difficult for anyone, even experts, to visually identify them as distinct from "non-pit bulls".
While mixed breed dogs are often labeled as "pit bulls"
if they have certain physical characteristics such as a square shaped head
or bulky body type, visual identification of mixed breed dogs
is not recommended by the scholarly community."
My stepson has a marvelous American bulldog that is sweet and gentle but if he barked at you, you'd soil your diapers. Never even gummed anybody, much less bit a visitor.
You saw a photo that she wanted you to see. No bandages. No torn clothing. Nothing. Other than that where is there actual proof that it happened the way she said it happened?
And fwiw if I were travelling (or shipping) with my dog it would be in a Sherpa bag or a crate with a health certificate from my vet.
You require torn clothes and bandages, which covered the wound? Me, I think a shot of the wound that is not covered by bandages gives a pretty clear picture of how bad the wound was. And it was bad.

Which is zero proof of it happening in the way it happened. Not one photo and not one one filming of the situation occurring from anyone has shown up as of yet. In the social media world we live in now the probability of it happening in the way she portrayed it is reaching zero.
A health certificate is a passport for a animal. Without one it ends up in quarantine at it's destination.
Unless she was flying to another country, no certificate is required. Though I tend to regard skepticism as sensible in many of these social media cases, you rejecting this woman was bit is strange.
Correct me, but I don't believe such requirements are needed for so called comfort animals.
Depends on the airline. Some of the big airlines do require proof of vaccinations for all animals, Jet Blue apparently does not.
