Abby Townsend Creates a
Paw-sitive Experience |
|
|
Abby Townsend with TSA was nominated by a PDX traveler.
“I'm training a service dog and over the past year, we have visited PDX many times for training. All of the PDX TSA staff have been wonderful – they are so helpful and understanding as I acclimate my dog to the noise and crowds of a busy airport.
Abby was especially helpful, directing me to websites and organizations that could enhance our training visits and facilitate actual flight day experiences. I consider myself so lucky to have PDX as my home airport. Thank you.”
