These Airlines Are Welcoming Dogs Onboard To Escape Wildfires

The wildfires in Canada have been raging for over a week, having escalated into a horrendous natural disaster which has destroyed hundreds of homes. 

Out of all that mayhem, howeverm comes one beautiful little story. Canadian airlines and Westjet have relaxed their restrictions on dogs boarding their planes and welcomed them in all shapes and sizes, as families try to get their pets to safety.
