Whatcom Therapy Dogs has partnered with the Bellingham International Airport to provide a new stress-relieving program: Pups Easing Traveler Stress, or PETS, in the commercial air terminal. Registered therapy dog teams will be in the terminal on a weekly basis to provide passengers and staff with a furry, stress reducing experience. PETS teams will be wearing ID tags and vests that invite travelers and staff to say ‘hi,’ and visit with the therapy dog teams.
