NJ: Dozens of Dogs Fill Newark Airport Terminal
Travelers who flew through Newark Liberty International Airport this past Saturday could be forgiven for thinking the facility had gone to the dogs.
Nearly 100 dogs – 89, to be exact – were brought to the airport’s Terminal C as part of their training to become guide dogs for the visually impaired. “The Labradors, German Shepherds and retrievers walked around the terminal, rode escalators and even boarded a United Airlines plane,” The Associated Press writes.
The Star-Ledger of Newark has more, writing that “for about three hours, the puppies and their handlers went through ticketing, security checkpoints, baggage claim and boarded a plane to accustom the dogs to traveling -- and the chaos that comes with it.”
