Traveler Faces Charges for Abandoning Dog at Pittsburgh Airport

A traveler is expected to face charges for abandoning their dog at Pittsburgh International Airport after being told the dog couldn't fly without a crate. The owner left the dog in the airport's short-term parking and boarded their flight to a resort destination. The dog, found unattended in a stroller, is now in the care of a rescue shelter and the state dog warden. This incident follows a similar case in which a man left his dog tied up outside an airport and was charged with a misdemeanor.
