Dog owners are usually asked to pick up after their dog ... but authorities in Las Vegas just wanted a woman to pick up her actual dog and take it with her -- and they arrested her when she allegedly wouldn't.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department shared video of officers confronting an irresponsible dog owner at her flight departure gate ... telling her they're going to walk her back to where she left her dog tied up at the ticket counter.
The clip then cuts to security camera footage which shows this individual arriving with her dog and stopping to chat with the woman at the checked bag desk.
After a short conversation, this woman appears to tie her dog to an object and take off ... bidding bon voyage to her pooch.

(12,059 posts)JetBlue is now in the care of Retriever Rescue of Las Vegas, according to a Facebook post from the non-profit rescue organization.
....
Several applications and inquiries to adopt JetBlue have been received by the organization, the rescue said in the post.
This sweet boy is incredible, the post reads. Truly incredible. And after everything hes been through, the thought of him ever experiencing abandonment again has us on very high alert.
We will be extremely intentional in choosing his forever family, the post continued. He deserves stability. Security. Commitment. A lifetime promise. In a powerful way, JetBlue has brought awareness to rescue, to abandonment laws, and to the reality that dogs are not disposable.
