A service dog bit two people last week at Denver International Airport.

The airport’s media team confirmed that an incident took place last week between an employee of American Airlines and a passenger with a service dog. Bella, a Belgian Malinois, bit two people on the morning of April 26 at 11:15 a.m., said Denver Department of Public Health & Environment spokesperson Tammy Vigil.

The shepherd dog is being held at Denver Animal Shelter on a bite quarantine for 10 days until May 6, and an investigation is ongoing, Vigil added.

She didn’t immediately respond to questions about the owner’s identity. The Denver Police Department directed questions to Denver Animal Protection.

The American Airlines media team didn’t respond to a request for comment.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
