Ruff Flight? No Problem, as Steward Comforts Passengers With Puppy

An Allegiant Air flight attendant helped calm nervous passengers during turbulence on a recent flight when he gave them a chance to pet a German Shepherd puppy.

Florida resident Marissa Nicole Basi said she was flying home from Belleville, Illinois, on August 2 when her flight encountered a patch of turbulence.

Basi said when the flight “got a little bumpy,” an air steward brought a 10-week-old German Shepherd around the plane.

Video by Basi shows a number of different passengers petting the puppy.

“When your flight full of kids gets a little bumpy … someone give this man a raise,” Basi said.
