Sunday Switchup: Another Airport Therapy Animal

Some of you may remember that I posted a member of the ‘Wag Patrol’, which is a group of therapy dogs who wander the San Francisco Airport calming down those who are anxious about flying.

Well, I say ‘a group of therapy dogs’, but as it happens, that’s no longer an inclusive enough term. LiLou joined their ranks last year, complete with adorable painted toenails. I knew she lived in the neighborhood but I have never been lucky enough to run into her until last week. Even then, alas, the lighting was kind of crappy, but it was just too good an opportunity to miss. I guess she is hypoallergenic, and although quite a few people have dog phobias, almost nobody’s got a pig phobia. And hey, how on earth could you be afraid of that face?

Petting her is a novel experience, but not at all unpleasant. And she seems to quite like it too.
