NORFOLK, Va. â A new project is taking off at Norfolk International Airport. Itâs one that will help pet owners and their dogs.
Airport authorities say theyâve had a pet relief spot; however, it wasnât well-defined and it wasnât an enclosed area. But now, a 15-year-old Norfolk Scout has taken on building a dog park as his Eagle Scout project.
âHopefully itâll make it easier for the dogs and the people,â said Emmett Moorhouse.
Emmettâs father is a pilot, and Emmett says he enjoys all things aviation and pets. So, he approached airport officials and asked if they had a project he could do. Thatâs when he met Jeff Bass, Director of Facilities who is a former Assistant Scout Master.
