Learning trust from our pets

This is Teddy, our lovely dachshund, ready for his first flight in a light aircraft.  

 

To our surprise Teddy was very quiet and remained calm throughout the flight despite being in a totally new, confined and rather noisy environment. 


 

Sometimes we can learn from our animal friends.  People are often unnecessarily nervous and apprehensive when they fly in a light aircraft for the first time. 

 

I guess Teddy wasn’t because he did not have any pre-conceived ideas about flying and trusted that it was safe if we were in the aircraft with him. 

 

Have you also come across situations where something could be learnt from your favourite pets?
