Mumbai Airport Recruits Trained Therapy Dogs To Bring A Smile On Passenger’s Face

Airports are exciting places of activity, but at times they also can be overwhelming for some fliers.

Recently, Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport brought in two legitimate, trained therapy dogs to help ease the stress of travelling.

Mumbai airport is possibly the first in the country to employ animals that would help ease travellers’ anxieties about returning to the skies. Earlier, therapy dogs were used to comfort special children and traumatised adults at US airports after the 9/11 attacks.

Goldie and Pepe, trained by the Animal Angels Therapy Centre in Pune, can sense a person’s mood by sniffing them.

Their mission is to put a smile on every passenger’s face they interact with.

This is what a Chicago-bound flier who came to bury his dead mother wrote in the feedback form:

Of course, not everyone is a dog lover. Some people would feel less stressed at an airport if they could cuddle with a cat.

But, let’s admit it, passengers will now have a PAWSitive experience at the Mumbai airport! ?
