Four-legged companions are well known for boosting general happiness and wellbeing as well as mood.
Southampton International Airport in the UK has employed a pack of therapy dogs to help ease the nerves of anxious flyers and passengers with hidden disabilities.
The dogs, called the Canine Crew, will be stationed in Southampton Airport's arrival and departure halls along with their volunteer handlers.
The Canine Crew will be a semi-permanent feature at the airport and will be on patrol once a week.
The therapy dogs are fully temperament tested and highly experienced in their trade.
