These dedicated doggos, along with their volunteer handlers, are an integral part of the commitment by Houston Airports to providing a positive and welcoming experience for every traveler. They brighten terminals with their playful spirit and wagging tails, offering a moment of comfort and connection amidst the hustle and bustle of air travel.
