You hear the captain’s voice, then a ripple of relief across the cabin. A dog is going to be OK.

Midway through an international flight, the crew found a problem with the cargo hold heat. Down below was a 7-year-old dog named Simba. At cruising altitude, that compartment could turn dangerously cold.

The pilot made the call to divert. It meant extra fuel, an unexpected stop, and a delay for more than two hundred people. It also meant a life saved.

They touched down in Frankfurt so the dog could be moved to another aircraft with a working system. The flight later continued on, landing about an hour late. Most passengers didn’t complain. Many thanked the crew. Compassion beat the clock.

Airline spokespeople said it was the right choice. The captain is responsible for every life on board, human or animal. Aviation experts agreed. A small decision in the sky, a big difference on the ground.

At Toronto’s airport, the reunion said it all. The owner called Simba “like my child.” You could see it in his face.

Not every hero wears a cape. Sometimes they wear four bars and carry a checklist.

Big news for dogs in Italy: they can now fly in the cabin—even large breeds.

Italy’s civil aviation authority has officially approved new rules allowing medium and large dogs to travel inside the airplane cabin with their humans.

Until now, bigger dogs almost always had to ride in the cargo hold. With this change, airlines that opt in—and follow safety requirements—can welcome them into the cabin instead.

There are guidelines. Dogs must ride in an approved carrier that can be secured to a seat or placed without blocking aisles or exits. Airlines can also set their own limits on how many pets may be onboard and may sell those spots quickly.

Some flights in Italy have already taken off with large dogs comfortably seated alongside their families, and more airlines are expected to adjust their cabins and policies soon.

Why it matters: traveling in the cabin reduces stress for dogs and owners, avoids the risks of extreme temperatures in cargo, and ensures pets stay safely with their people.

If you’re planning to fly, check your airline’s rules, book early, and prepare your dog by practicing calm time in their carrier. A little preparation makes the journey easier for everyone.

For many dogs in Italy, the words “no more cargo hold” have finally become reality.

Happy Birthday Miss Tessa!

12 YEARS AGO, this amazing gift would come into my life as a tiny puppy, and unexpectedly, change it forever.

THIS is Miss Tessa, my beautiful baby, and the true founder of Flying Fur. Without her, none of this would have ever happened, and over 4,000 shelter dogs and cats may have never made it rescue, or found homes.

I get a lot of credit, but she really is the true founder of our organization - had I never been exposed to the world that is animal rescue, we would not be here.
I feel very fortunate to be able to do what I do - and none of it would have ever happened without her.

She is the pure and simple reason all of this exists, and I am forever grateful I was blessed for her to come into my life.

Happy Birthday Miss Tessa, I love you more than you will ever know ❤🐕
