CLEVELAND (WJW) -- Cleveland Hopkins International Airport has hired some very good boys (and girls).

The airport's new therapy dogs are expected to help ease flyers who are feeling anxious or nervous, according to a Thursday news release.

It's part of the airport's new Hopkins Hospitality initiative, which includes the guest pass program rolled out earlier this month.

“Therapy dogs are a great addition to any situation where people may be feeling stressed or anxious,” spokesperson Megan O’Connell is quoted in the release. “Even if you don’t realize you are feeling the tension of [traveling], spending a minute or two with one of our dogs can help in ways you didn’t know you needed.” • (Credit: Cleveland Hopkins International A
