Before Justinian Huang left Shanghai for some beach time in Malaysia last winter, he took his dog Swagger to stay with a friend.
The International Pet and Animal Transportation Association, a nonprofit trade group for companies that specialize in moving pets, suggests owners wait out the travel restrictions, if they can. Huang missed the pooch, which he describes as a corgi mix. He adopted him after the dog was rescued from the streets. Huang says Swagger ended up rescuing him from loneliness for the past three years while living away from home.
Huang paid $4,000 in flight and transport agency fees to get Swagger to the United States. Another Shanghai-based expat paid around $14,000 to be reunited with a corgi. It's a lot of money, but Steven Feldman, executive director of the Human Animal Bond Research Institute, says, it's worth it if you can afford it.
"The dogs kind of go like every second row just because we don't want, you know, one dog to, like, look under the seat and see another dog and maybe start growling or be upset at it," Robertson says.
Cool Pawesome. Hope she has better luck than the lawyer's tying to free the children from Trumps concentration camps. And reunited them with their parents.
So thoughtful!
Pups love affection.
For a while now there has been people with private planes delivering adopted dogs around the US.
Dogs are essential. Our jobs and people are not.

Your priorities are the reason nobody takes you serious.
Oh I'll rescue that guy! Oh wait this is about the dog. OK I rescue them BOTH! Soooo cute!
Kindness, pass it on!
