Charges filed against woman accused of leaving dog at airport before vacation

PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- Allegheny County Police officially charged a woman for leaving her French bulldog at Pittsburgh International Airport.

Allison Gaiser faces animal cruelty, animal neglect, and abandonment charges, which carry prison time and fines.

Airport staff said the dog did not have a proper crate to travel.

Officers say the Frenchie is doing well and is in foster care.
