Among the hundreds of thousands of passengers Yinchuan International Airport will receive for the 2019 Spring Festival travel rush, Bean Bun stands out as unusual while boarding a flight to the capital city of Northwest China's Ningxia Hui autonomous region.
Instead of reuniting with families or friends for the most important festival in the country, the 1-year-old Corgi is flying as an emotional support animal, accompanying Ms Chen to help her get through the six-hour trip.
