| 0:05.2 | we've been very mean to Southwest Airlines as they deserve for all of the cancellations and |
| 0:11.7 | just a tropious service that they've offered their customers. But they have been doing something |
| 0:17.6 | good that many people don't know about. And this is about Kaya. And Kaya is a service dog |
| 0:24.2 | who is the inspiration for the Paws Act. And the Paws Act was to help service men who are |
| 0:30.6 | suffering from PTSD. Well, Kaya, the dog, she took her final flight after 320 missions and she |
| 0:39.4 | flew the majority of her flights to get to these service men who needed her emotional help. |
