An amazing baggage handler working for Virgin Australia Airlines, was captured on video by Seven News reporter Jacqueline Felgate who shared a most heartwarming action on the runway with Instagram viewers.
The baggage handler, named Chad, was seen comforting a dog being readied to load on the plane and wanting to make “sure this brave doggo is safely on the plane.” When Chad was questioned as to what he said to the pooch named Cooper, he said he was trying to ease the dog’s anxiety.
I was just reassuring him and asking him if he was ready to board, just like the passengers get asked up at the gate. I said ‘Coopy mate, you’ll be fine, hope you have a safe flight, we’ll see you on the other side.’

Chad’s kindness, of course went viral. We never seem to have enough of the angels out here reassuring out four legged friends we love them

Not to worry either. Virgin Australia Airlines joined in the celebration of kindness with an adorable photo of Chad and Cooper on their Instagram account too.
Virginaustralia @jacquifelgate7 knows how to take good news to the masses, and that’s exactly what she did when she shared a video from a wonderful guest featuring a team member comforting a travelling pup last weekend. Introducing Chad, from our Perth Pit Crew team, turned dog whisperer. Want to know more about this animal lover with a heart of gold? We’ve got just the thing coming.

Cooper’s owner, @Shylikeann, saw Chad’s response and couldn’t thank him enough for taking good care of her boy, admitting Cooper hasn’t been much of a fan flying.
