Sacramento airport therapy dogs, known as the BARC team, help to ease travel stress ...Middle East

The Boarding Area Relaxation Corps, or BARC for short, are volunteer airport therapy dogs who have been easing the stress of traveling for the last decade. Their owners volunteer through an organization called Lend a Heart, a volunteer group that trains the dogs for this kind of therapy.

The dogs even get airport nametags. When their shift is done, they get a treat to enjoy on the tram ride home.  

Hale says, "We found that's the best place as people come through TSA, they just see us right there, and glom onto us. We also wander the terminal and gates and can find you that way."

"I love it because I am an anxious flyer, so when I saw the dogs, oh my gosh — I need to pet them, it's just what I needed," Schroeder said.

"We dropped our bags and came back, so cute," Farber said.

People interested in letting their canine volunteer with BARC can contact the Lend a Heart team through their website.
