Bradley International Airport (BDL) is helping to spread joy by celebrating National Dog Day. Several four-legged members of the Bradley Buddies therapy dog program, along with their human counterparts, were at BDL today, walking through the terminal and interacting with travelers.
The larger-than-normal grouping of fury friends allowed passengers to stop and pet the dogs and even take photos for National Dog Day. Some of the breeds that were part of today’s visit included a German shepherd, Australian shepherd, border collie, goldendoodle, golden retriever, and Yorkshire terrier.
The Bradley Buddies program, which was launched in August 2017, is marking its seventh anniversary this month. The certified therapy dogs visit the airport regularly to help brighten the day of passengers as they arrive and depart from BDL. There are currently a total of 16 teams participating in the program.
Bradley Buddies is organized in partnership with Bright Spot Therapy Dogs, Inc. For more information about the Bradley Buddies program, visit www.bradleyairport.com/bradley-buddies
