Last week we interviewed Heidi Huebner, program director of the PUP Program at LAX. The PUP Program aims to have Pets Unstressing Passengers to make your airport experience more enjoyable. I can't tell you how much I LOVE this program and was so thrilled when I discovered it. In part 2 of our blog post, we interviewed Vinny's dad, Miguel on being a volunteer with this wonderful organization. To learn more about how to become involved check out The PUP Program.

What is The PUP Program at the Los Angeles Airpot?
As traveling can create stress and anxieties at airports, the LAX Pets Un-stressing Passengers (PUP) program is an opportunity to provide an overall enhanced customer experience, providing stress relief and comfort to passengers through interaction with pets.
Therapy dogs and handlers roam the departures levels in the gate areas of each terminal, visiting passengers awaiting flights and providing comfort, as well as airport information. The program educates and informs passengers about the LAX projects and construction-related traffic impacts.
