About dogs. Turkish authorities have decided that rescue dogs, who have worked tirelessly to find people trapped under the rubble after the earthquake in recent weeks, will travel with first-class officers, not in cargo holds. the flight in which they are deployed in the area reserved for luggage. Not this time: it was gratefully decided to change the rules.
Turkey did not allow rescue dogs to return to their country of origin in luggage compartments.
They returned home with the first class flights of Turkish Airlines ❤😍 pic.twitter.com/UDWWR5TOXd— Patrizia💙 (@CuoreIschitano) February 28, 2023
