A Connecticut Mayor Sues Delta Over Dog Bite Injury
Airlines & Airports Rich Thomaselli July 12, 2020

Current Bridgeport, Conn. Mayor Joe Ganim, a Democratic candidate for Gov. of the state of Connecticut, is suing Delta Air Lines over an alleged 2018 incident in which he said he was bitten on the leg by a dog during a flight.
The New Haven Register first reported the story, followed by the Associated Press.
The suit was filed in state Superior Court.
Ganim alleges he suffered “serious, severe, painful and permanent injuries” to his lower left leg and that he was forced to undergo a series of rabies shots because Delta didn’t provide details on the dog, the dog’s medical history or contact information for its owner.
However, in March of 2018, eight months before the incident, Delta began requiring passengers to provide proof of animal training and the animal’s immunization records before allowing them to board a plane.
It certainly isn't the first time something like this has happened. Last year, an emotional support dog bit a passenger during an American Airlines flight.
