Philadelphia International Airport honored the Wagging Tails Brigade, therapy dogs serving travelers for five years.
Philadelphia International Airport celebrated the Wagging Tails Brigade, a group of therapy dogs that have been serving travelers for five years, by honoring their 23 members and their human handlers. The therapy dogs, accompanied by their handlers, comfort and entertain passengers at the airport for at least two hours per week. They wear vests inviting passersby to pet them, aiming to bring joy and positivity to passengers amidst the stress of air travel. The dogs were celebrated with birthday presents, a customized cake, and an opportunity for visitors to sign a large birthday card. One couple, en route to their honeymoon, turned to pet a therapy dog named Bella in an effort to stay positive amidst a flight delay.
