Luckily, there are ways to cope.
Some say theres nothing like the calming presence of an animal to ease the nerves.
This is the idea behind the San Francisco International AirportsWag Brigade.
The program brings therapy-certified animals into the airports terminals to provide comfort and diversion to distressed passengers.
The program’s mission is a simple, impactful one: to make passenger travel more enjoyable.
Naturally, the most important aspects of this goal are the faces of the program, the pets themselves.
These are the qualities that make Alex perfect for the job.
Identifiable by his Wag Brigade Pet Me!
Alex was rescued from a central California rabbit farm, where he was living under harsh conditions.
He was covered in fleas and his fur was matted,describes his co-owner, Josh Row.
He then took the rabbit home and nursed him back to health.
After Alex earned his AAT license, he was eligible to apply for a spot on the Wag Brigade.
These special animals roam the airport’s terminals, offering comfort to anxious travelers.
Alex is a Flemish Giant, a breed known for its friendliness and patience.
