Dogs with jobs roam the San Antonio International Airport, providing stress relief to travelers and, if they need to, popping into a restroom made specifically for them.

The airport provides restrooms for the therapy dogs, and any other canines passing through, a fact that sent the internet into a teary-eyed tizzy after a Twitter user tweeted photos of the facility.

"What a time to be alive," the user said, in a tweet that has since received more than 1,000 retweets and 2,600 likes.

In August 2016, two restrooms were installed for dogs and include turf grass, multiple drains in the floors, a decorative water hydrant, waste bags and a sink for the dogs' human companions, said Tonya Hope, public relations and marketing manager for the airport.

Additionally, the airport has eight volunteer therapy dogs, who walk throughout the airport with their handlers, providing a "stress-relieving touch-point for airport customers," Hope said.

The therapy dogs also welcome military service members home during the airport's "Welcome Home Heroes" events," she said.
