The Rhode Island native attended Bay View Academy and burst onto the global scene when she won Miss Universe in 2012.
Dogs who are not registered service dogs are not allowed to fly with passengers on JetBlue.
‘I’m sure I’m not the only one who ran away crying at the airport, but it’s the worst experience I’ve ever had,’ she said. ‘I just want to be able to go home.’
JetBlue issued the following statement, “JetBlue is committed to assisting customers who have a need to use trained service animals while traveling. At the same time, we are committed to following updated federal regulations prohibiting customers from bringing untrained or unqualified animals on board, including attempts to claim a pet is a trained service animal. At any time while traveling, our crewmembers may ask legally allowed questions and confirm the qualifications of a trained service animal. We work to consistently enforce these policies, however, a customer may be stopped from proceeding with travel at any point if it is determined an animal does not meet the required qualifications,” the airline said.
