Dogs soothe nerves at much-maligned Berlin airport

At Berlin's Brandenburg International Airport (BER) which is creating to win over weary passengers, a pilot programme is dispatching three good-natured puppies along with two human trainers as on-the-ground stress relief ambassadors.
At the start of Germany's autumn school holiday, the puppies serve as BER’s ambassadors charm the elderly, help fidgety children and calm nervous travelers for a little comfort or entertainment. The stress relief dogs, an idea from Los Angeles's international airport, have drawn "very good feedback" from BER passengers.
