A man accused of abandoning his puppy at an airport after being unable to fly with it, and later claiming that an "Uber driver" had ditched the young dog, has been arrested on animal cruelty charges.
42-year-old Omar Perez of Texas was approached by authorities in the terminal who had begun their inquiries after reports of a Labrador puppy running free near the curb outside Pittsburgh International Airport's departures area at around 5 pm on Friday.
