    I just don't understand how anyone can think it's okay to steal, especially a living breathing being. It's mind boggling to me. Jail should have been part of the punishment.

    We got back from Alaska a few weeks ago. My granddaughter and her parents went on the sled dog adventure that you're describing, and the photos we have of her playing with and cuddling the puppies are priceless. Yes, she left them there.... I'm glad we got there before this incident. I don't blame the sledding company for reacting the way they have. Unfortunately, I guess I'm not surprised by bad tourist behavior - vandalizing artwork and petroglyphs, hiking off the platforms at Yellowstone, getting nude at Angkor Wat, disrespecting cultures, societies, religions, and history different from your own. It all seems depressingly normal. I wish it wasn't.

    I went on that excursion about a month ago. It was a really great experience going on the sled ride and being able to hold the puppies. I was so impressed with the care they gave the dogs and the facilities in general. What a shame that one selfish person would ruin it for everyone and now the company has to be on high alert for all the tourists who visit. It's shocking, really.

    Closest I came to something like that was a land based vacation in Mexico. We took a tour to Chichen Itza, and despite all the barriers and warning signs, a "gentleman" from our tour tried to climb up the pyramid. He had a diplomatic passport and either thought that gave him permission to do what he wanted, or at a minimum prevented him from being charged. He was promptly removed from the grounds and placed back on the bus.

    Took that exact excursion this July from NCL Jewel- great excursion and we actually were told by the staff of the dog sled excursion that a woman tried to do the same thing a couple of years before by putting one in her purse. Because of that it is hard to believe the staff didn't keep an accurate count of the number of puppies. There were 5 puppies when our group was there- not hard to keep track of 5 puppies, but perhaps the staff wasn't watching carefully.

    Was this person a non U.S. citizen? Because as far as I can tell, the U.S. Supreme Court has made rulings in the past that a state isn't able to just ban U.S. citizens from entering the state. Also, I can't find any articles about this and I would assume in the case of a fine, there would have had to been a trial, the person found guilty, and the judge or jury imposed the punishment/fine. The state of Alaska, the excursion company, or the cruise line can't arbitrarily impose a fine on their own without due process. The only thing the cruise line could do is ban them from the cruise line.

    I don't doubt this story -- of someone trying to take a puppy. But the consequences you say happen just are not possible. Alaska does not have a list of people that are banned from entry. And if they did, taking a puppy for a few hours wouldn't land you on that list. People with all kinds of criminal past that have done their time, paid their fees, or whatever, are allowed into every state. And who, exactly fined this person the supposed $10,000 dollars? The cruise line? This "crime" wouldn't be settled in courts, let alone the fine determined. This smells a lot like a tall tale (the consequences) designed to keep cruise ship passengers in line.

    In 2022, my family took the Dog Sledding excursion in Juneau. Our dog sled guide told us that a few weeks earlier, someone had taken one of their puppies. The unbelievable thing with the Juneau tour is that it is on top of Mendenhall Glacier - and the only way to and back is via Helicopter. So someone smuggled a puppy under the coat and into the helicopter. They were supposedly stopped when getting off the helicopter at the heliport. We were told that they just were scolded and the puppy was taken back. I don't know if this is just one for the "Great Alaskan Tales" or if some people have really lost their minds.

  • @charlayned

    Of all the things you might think of to do, THAT has to be one of the stupidest things I have ever heard. 10k fine? Well, that's probably half-the-cost of the puppy, should have been 25k at least. Lifetime ban, having to fly home, banned for cruising and Alaska for life, okay. But why not keel-haul them. That's really big punishment on a cruise ship due to the size (yes, I'm kidding...mostly). We have a 5 month old Sheltie pup, I can't imagine trying to keep him quiet when he was little, we drove between Houston and Springfield Missouri to get him and then back, 2 nights up and 2 nights back in hotels. He was a bit whiney at 8 weeks, that pup was probably smaller. She got off lucky that she wasn't in jail for a while for it as well.
    I really want to do an Alaska cruise before we can't. My grandparents were some of the teachers in Alaska in the 1930s, they were between Ketchikan and King Island (summers only). I want to see the island, you can't go there now but can see it from the water. The homes and such are still there, on huge stilts but are crumbling and it's off limits even to the fisherman who have had heritage fishing there forever. Someday, hopefully, we can do it (I can't really fly, we're larger so...)

    I could not find this story via a search of the internet. No cruise company is mentioned. I guess I could call the company in Skagway to verify...
    Is this like the RCL pizza farce?
    This situations begs many questions that are blatantly left unanswered in this initial report. Just sayin....

    Who levied the $10k fine? A judge? Was the person arrested? Jailed? What cruise line?

    Wow. Just wow. Higher fine and jail time. Then booted out of Alaska forever. Idiots. Now they’ve ruined it for the rest of us. 😡🤬🤬
