The aviation ministry has approved the Directorate General of Civil Aviation’s (DGCA) new rules allowing dogs to fly. But don’t worry about dogfights in the air. The new rule applies only to those canines guiding humans “with disability and/or reduced mobility”.

I like the “don’t worry” part (yes, that’s sarcasm). Full story at Guide Dogs Allowed to Fly.
