Amid the hustle bustle of the airport and railway stations, there is one thing that can bring you instant happiness. It is a glimpse of a service dog. They diligently walk with their handler while sniffing and making sure you are safe at the airport or a railway station. All the dog lovers out there would agree that at some point we all have wanted to pet but could not. Because, rules! Either way, they are absolutely adorable like all the other dogs in the world.
Gema, an airport dog recently received the sweetest farewell party ever. Gema retired from her duties after serving dedicatedly for over 5 years at Orlando International Airport. The authorities made elaborate arrangements to bid a goodbye to the furriest member of their squad. They arranged a party for her, brought her an extra-large treat and yes, gave her a pink “retirement crown”. How sweet is that?
Gema was visibly excited and munched on the treat with great gusto while the others continued to cheer her. These photos Tweeted by Orlando International Airport will make your Monday blues go away. You can thank us later.
