A sweet two-year-old dog that was dumped at a Las Vegas airport by his cruel owner has now found a forever home.
Germiran Bryson, 26, allegedly abandoned her goldendoodle inside Harry Reid International Airport earlier this month after staff told her he could not board the flight.
After 10 days with Animal Protective Services and a search for a new home through the nonprofit Retriever Rescue of Las Vegas, the pup was adopted by the officer who came to his rescue.
Las Vegas police officer Skeeter Black adopted the four-legged friend, nicknamed 'Jet Blue,' the department wrote on Facebook Saturday.
'Weeks after being found tied to a baggage sizer inside Terminal three at Harry Reid International Airport, the dog now known as Jet Blue is officially on the way to his new forever home,' the post stated.
'Officer Black and his family had already been approved through Retriever Rescue of Las Vegas months earlier while searching to adopt a golden doodle of their own.
'Following the mandatory hold period, the rescue organization selected them to provide Jet Blue with the safe and loving home he deserves,' it added.
A heartwarming montage was also shared by the department, featuring a compilation of slow motion clips and photos of Black and his family outside the rescue center.

An adorable video showed a happy Jet Blue excitedly wagging his tail and playing with Black.
Another sweet snap showed Black kneeling down and posing with the goldendoodle, who wore a blue vest and a matching leash.
More videos showed the family beaming as they held the two-year-old furball and posed for a smiling photo together.
'What began as a heartbreaking act of abandonment has turned into a powerful example of compassion, teamwork, and community partnership.
'Today, Jet Blue’s next journey begins this time, surrounded by the people who stepped in when he needed it the most,' the department wrote.
'Bon voyage, Jet Blue and welcome to a new life where you’ll be loved beyond words by Officer Black and his family.'
On February 2, airport staff told Bryson she didn't have the proper paperwork to bring the pup aboard as a service animal.
Instead of rebooking, she allegedly tied her dog to a metal carry-on sizer at the JetBlue ticket counter.
She was caught at her departing gate shortly after, detained, and charged with animal abandonment and resisting arrest.

Las Vegas police also released bodycam footage showing Bryson trying to get through Gate D1, where officers immediately confronted her.
'I'm going to throw my bags down because I'm exhausted,' she told authorities.
An officer told Bryson sharply, 'No, what we're gonna do is walk you back to where your dog's at and give you a citation, because you left your dog at the ticket counter.'
She became defensive, insisting she was merely trying to 'rebook her flight,' but police pressed her once again on why she’d left her dog behind.
In an apparent attempt to shift blame, Bryson told authorities she was just following what airport staff had told her to do at the counter.
Not buying her excuse, the officer scoffed, 'To walk out here without your dog?!'
Bryson 'claimed the dog had a tracking device - implying it was acceptable to leave the animal behind and it would return to her,' the police department said.
While being walked back through the checkpoint, the disgraced dog owner allegedly became 'hostile' and struggled with officers trying to detain her.
Once Bryson was booked, the little dog was looked after by airport employees and Las Vegas police before being transferred to Animal Protective Services for the mandatory 10-day holding period.
She never returned to claim her two-year-old pooch, but thanks to Retriever Rescue of Las Vegas, Jet Blue has now found his permanent home.
