When a dog travels in more style than you, questions are bound to be asked
I shit you not, the dog is flying first class on my flight — madeleine (@madeleinedoux) October 27, 2015
Hank might have a disability but that doesn’t mean that he can’t take care of others. He is trained to detect when his owner, Kari Whitman, is about to have a seizure.
He also has his own Instagram account

This wasn’t the first time Hank ” The Tank” flew first class and it most definitely won’t be the last. He is a great dog, who has a great life and we wish him safe travels for all his future luxurious flights!
