Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks is giving stressed travelers the chance to hug a therapy dog during the holiday season.
According to officials at the airport, their six-month pilot program with the dogs was popular among passengers.
People can now cuddle with the dogs in the airport concourse two days a week.
The dogs and their handlers are provided at no cost by Massachusetts-based Bright Spot Therapy Dogs.
Founder Cynthia Hinckley says the dogs help lower people's blood pressure.
WVIT-TV reports the dogs could be at the airport every day pending the program's success.
AP wire services helped contribute to this report.
