PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — A pilot program to help reduce stress for travelers at Philadelphia International Airport is taking off.    

The program is called the Wagging Tails Brigade, and there are four registered therapy dog and their handlers in the program.

Each dog has a trading card.    

The program is a partnership with the Alliance of Therapy Dogs. The airport has plans to expand the program, adding more certified dogs when they become available.
