Did you know airports are making bathrooms for dogs?
As of August, 2016, federal regulation requires airports that service more than one hundred thousand passangers a year to establish at least one relief area for service animals inside each terminal.
The bathroom has to be wheelchair accessible and close to airline gates.
An inside dog bathroom has fake grass and a fire hydrant.
An outside dog bathroom has fake grass, a fenced in area, and a fire hydrant.
I think this idea of bathrooms for dogs is a great idea, because dog owners don't have to stress about getting off the plane and going outside to let the dog get air, potty, and run. Then running back to your airline gate. This takes off more stress from dog owners, because you can walk to a dog bathroom and walk straight back to your gate without a hassle.

Oh wow i have never heard of this. I am super excited to actually see this in airports, but it may cause some problems.
I love it! Its great how you talk about spuccifically how dogs have bathrooms!
That is cool and interesting. Blind people sure are happy. I saw one of these bathrooms when coming back from Hawaii last winter. It didn't have a fire hydrant, but it was turf and had a drain. I wonder how major airports will react.
I love that you included the links here. You can also make them into "hyperlinks", which is easy, and way cooler. :) I can show you how...
This is awesome that they are putting in dog bathrooms at airports now. Even though I have only been on a plane once, I still saw about 2 people with dogs and it looked like they were a little bit frustrated and nervous about not knowing wether their dog was going to go bathroom on the plane.
I can imagine that this will be super helpful for people with service animals. My aunt has a service dog and she is always stressing flying because of her dog. I'm extremely excited for this and I bet everyone with service dogs will be super excited for this attachment. Nice job!
