A service dog at the Denver International Airport (DIA) has been quarantined following an investigation after it bit two people in April. According to the media team, the dog bit an employee and another passenger.

The incident

According to the Denver Department of Public Health and Environment (DPHE), on April 26th, 2024, at around 11:15, a Belgian malinois named Bella bit two people at the Denver International Airport. One was an American Airlines employee, while the other was a passenger waiting for a flight.

As a result of the incident, the dog was quarantined at the Denver Animal Shelter for 10 days. Bella will be released on May 6th. The owner has claimed that Bella is a service dog, which provides it with some protections.

Simple Flying contacted DIA to comment on the situation, and a media spokesperson confirmed the incident but asked that we direct further queries to the Denver Police Department and American Airlines. Simple Flying is waiting for a comment from American Airlines.
