Airport Program Helps Keep Pets Safer

(copied from Dog Fancy magazine)
At Logan International Airport in Boston, first responders and airline workers now undergo special training to help keep canine passengers safe.
Robert Donahue, chief of the Massachusetts Port Authority Fire Rescue Department, says the Passengers with Paws program began in 2008 “in response to experiences at Logan involving escapes of pets shipped as cargo as well as pets in need of emergency care.”
Upwards of 2,000 family pets, service animals, and show dogs travel though the busy New England airport each month, officials say.
As part of the program, veterinarians teach first-aid classes to firefighters, paramedics, and state police troopers working at the airport. Baggage handlers and other airline workers receive slightly different training to hone their animal-handling skills.
A pet ambulance is also assigned to the airport, courtesy of The Animal Rescue League of Boston, to whisk injured or ill dogs and cats to a nearby veterinary hospital, if necessary.
So far, airport officials say the one-of-a-kind program is successful.
No pets shipped in cargo have escaped from their carriers, and paramedics responded to four emergency calls, saving each animal’s life.
