United Brings Comfort Dogs to O’Hare to Ease Holiday Stress

If you will be traveling out of O'Hare airport in Chicago today or tomorrow (December 23), don't panic if you see several dogs around the United Airlines terminals. They aren't there for a bomb threat, but instead to help ease some of your holiday traveling stress.

The #UnitedPaws initiative features more than 230 trained comfort dogs, mostly golden retrievers, to greet travelers in 7 of the country's busiest airports through December 23, 2015. Well done, United! I think this is a great idea, especially to help calm children traveling alone this holiday. In fact, it's making me want to fly United somewhere just so I can see these cute furry babies in action.
