If there are individuals who would benefit from the presence of therapy animals, these are the sick and terminally ill. Good news, therapy animals may be able to visit wards regularly. The Royal College of Nursing looks forward to the day that the all-out ban on assistance animals in hospitals be stopped.

To date, this endeavor is being pursued at Southampton General Hospital where Leo and Lottie, two therapy dogs, visit a couple of children with various health conditions. So far, Leo was able to help kids diagnosed with cancers and brain issues. For example, Leo helped divert James Davison’s attention while a nurse was plastering his leg.

While some organizations hesitate to allow dogs inside hospitals because of possible allergies and infections, Amanda Cheesley from the Royal College of Nursing says that these dogs can save a ton of lives. After all, they’ve been trained and insured.

Military Members Sign Petition for United Airlines to Exempt Them from Pet Transport Ban

united airlines service animals

If you can recall, United Airlines made changes in their policy after an unfortunate incident spread on social media – a French bulldog died in their cargo compartment as they flew the dog to the wrong destination.

The carrier’s new policy which would take effect on June 18 states that they would no longer allow dogs with short noses fly in their cargo hold (these animals will find it harder to breathe in confined spaces). However, passengers can still bring such breeds as long as their carrier can fit under the seat.

Military family members have expressed their concerns over the new policy. Some families are living in another country and cannot imagine how they can fly their service dogs home. So far, United Airlines has been their main US-based carrier that offers lower rates. Other airlines allow larger breeds but tend to be more expensive.

According to United Airlines, they’ll be allowing military families to book reservations but only after their new policy takes effect.
