First there were doggie day care centers. Then, there were doggie hotels. Now, and I can't believe I'm saying this, now there are doggie flights. In the midst of all this economic uncertainty, when millions are losing their jobs around the world and there are stories of families of five cramming into one bedroom motels because they have been kicked out of their homes, now, of all times, Dan Wiesel and Alysa Binder are planning to launch "Pet Airways", flying cats and dogs from five US cities.
Don't get me wrong - I love my dog - but honestly, isn't this the absolute height of decadence at the worst time possible?

It is also decadent for environmental reasons. What many in the USA don't realize is that in Europe, pet dogs of all sizes are allowed on intercity trains, in the passenger compartment.
To find out more and to see how you can help make this happen in Canada (where dogs in crates are allowed in the baggage room on some Via Rail services) and Amtrak, see "Dogs on Board!" at www.greenidea.eu
