Jet Blue said they would pay her medical bills from what I understand.

When he came down the escalator, the dog went CRAZY with excitement. Jumping up on him, barking and even kind of "crying." It was really a sweet moment (I admit, I got choked up), but I couldn't help but wonder why that couldn't have happened at home.)
Why are dogs who are not booked on a flight allowed in the airport? A dog out of control with excitement can knock someone down, cause a fall and possibly inflict serious injury.

'cleared to fly'?

It's a dog. It's not piloting the aircraft or going into space.

The only way to reliably 'clear' an animal of rabies is to take post-mortem brain samples.

The chances of actually getting rabies from a dog are slim and nil...

But, I do want to know where this dog went after the bite? Was it flying as checked luggage? Flying as an ESA? Just there to see mom off?

I don't disagree. I also don't make or enforce the rules.

Some lawsuits against airports and individual dog owners could change the rule that lets dogs in the facility.

JetBlue passenger bit by dog at Orlando airport says airline isn't helping identify the owner | Fox News

Brittany Langlois told Fox 25 Boston that she was bit by a fellow passenger’s dog while waiting to check in for her flight. However, she says she’s having no luck tracking down the animal’s owner after JetBlue employees scuttled the other passenger from the line — leaving Langlois uncertain of whether or not to seek treatment for rabies.

IMO, this is a bad strategy if she is seriously concerned about a rabies infection.

Langlois claims the rabies shots are "very painful" -- they're not. I've had them. The whole treatment is expensive, though, if you don't have medical insurance to cover it. I think mine came in at just over $2,200.

Secondly, her time to get them -- if it's contingent on the dog testing positive for rabies -- has already run out, since standard procedure is to isolate the animal for 10 days to monitor it for signs of disease.

And is Jet Blue really liable for what some passenger's animal did?
Blaming the victim? I certainly think it is the responsibility of the airline to do what is right in mitigating this situation.

I can see where the victim would want to make sure the dog doesn't have rabies, PLUS, get the dog on the bite list. If it doesn't get reported, the dog can bite again and again.

But I think JetBlue would be out of line to give a passenger's information. That passenger could sue.

Call the cops, let them track down the dog.

This is ridiculous. If you can't control your dog, keep your dog at home.
