Sherpa I found, I thought maybe you doggy people had a special supplier for another bag.
Do they make one big enough for a pitty, as the alleged biter was identified?
Us doggy people?? Do your own research on the breed, Sherpas, dog crates and muzzle guards.
If the dog was cleared to fly, it had all its shots and was cleared by a vet. She just wants to sue the owner.
This. Not to mention, its silly to get vaccinated for rabies infection from the bite of a household dog. The chances of it being infected are one in a gazillion, and you can only have the series of shots once ever. Paramedics and other medical professionals will recommend that you do, but that's to cover their own liability for not recommending it, in case you happen to be unlucky enough to find that one out of a gazillion.
This means that if you are ever bitten by a wild animal that IS infected, you are out of luck, and will just have to ride that infection out and hope you survive it, because you wasted your one shot at it on someone's obviously vaccinated house pet. Even a lawsuit simply because you were bitten, if you didn't sustain any substantial damage from the bite, will probably be a losing game. Many jurisdictions provide dogs "one free bite". And, that bite must have been reported to the authorities.
If its a pitbull, and you lost a finger or two, you may have a case. If its a Yorkie, with no previously reported history, and you only have a small cut, you probably don't.
It's not surprising that JetBlue cant release any info. Even a vet cant without the dog owner's consent. It will take a court subpoena, signed by a judge to get the info. It kind of looks like she doesn't have a lawyer, and wants to go on a smear campaign of JetBlue.

About 80% of dog bites are Goldens. They have a vicious countenance.
You forgot [/sarcasm]
Not really.
They soften up the victim by lashing them with their tail, and then take a taste of the victim with their tongue. At that point they often don't like the taste and don't bite.

With so many untrained dogs able to be out in public places now, laws should be updated. It should be a crime for a dog owner to fail to take responsibility after their dog injures someone. This person failing to come forward would be a criminal, like a hit and run. Actually if you hit a dog with your car and leave, that is against the law in many places. Yet this person can just walk away for some reason.

"If a person has previously received postexposure vaccinations or received preexposure vaccinations, only two doses of vaccine (on the day of exposure and then 3 days later) are needed."
That means that if there is a possible exposure to another rabid animal, the vaccine is still needed but at a lower dose. In addition, rabies immune globulin is not needed.
People at risk for exposure to rabies, such as veterinarians and people who explore caves, take rabies vaccine so they will be protected in advance of exposure. They get antibody titers every two years and a booster if the titer drops.
"One free bite" might prevent a dog from being euthanized but it does not relieve the owner of the responsibility for paying for damage from the bite.
Believe me if I or someone in my family were bit the Airport Police would have been there with all the immediate fuss we would have made. I think the person is looking for money but they have a right.

You don't need to have the complete series again once you've received it. They give you a booster dose if you've been exposed (or think you might have been exposed) to a rabid animal. Veterinary workers have their immunity tested periodically and receive booster doses if they need them.
And as far as "household" pets go, I was bitten by a "household" cat that was never kept in the house and had had no vaccinations, ever. (Some people don't deserve to have pets.) It lived outdoors 100% and occasionally brought down a bat. We have rabid bats in our county, so I got the rabies series.

If anyone is bit, they have the right to compensation IMHO. Lawyer up!!

Maybe but from who? The victim better hope that the dog's owner has good insurance. Jet Blue, a deep pocket, may not be liable.
