Airports have gone to the dogs

Thursday was National Dog Day and airports went all out to celebrate their favorite pooches.

First, let’s congratulate Alona, who works at Mccarran International Airport in Las Vegas, who is this year’s winner of the TSA’s Cutest Canine contest.

Thank you to everyone who 'raised a paw' and voted for Alona in this year's @TSA Cutest Canine contest. She is a worthy holder of this title and spends her days working @LASairport. Who knew a #workingdog could be so skilled AND so cute? 🐾 pic.twitter.com/S7cp7YGadK

Today Paws for Takeoff launched at CHS! Playful, tail-wagging canines and their owners provide a special way to help alleviate the stress that is so
common in an airport environment. Teams volunteering at CHS will visit on Thursdays or Sundays between the hours of 9a and 6p. 🐾 pic.twitter.com/gdlbW6w02Y
