However, Ogawa was concerned that Coco had become too old to do the trip in this manner again. ‘She registered Coco as an emotional support animal and paid $100 (about R1,440) to allow the blue Mini Rex bunny to enter the cabin in a carry case.’ The dapper-looking bunny wore a bowtie for the occasion and was reportedly relaxed and curious.

Ogawa had resigned from her job at Google in California to start a new career back in Japan as co-founder and CEO of analytics at startup Panalyt and she said that she could not leave Coco behind in the States. According to metro.co.uk Ogawa said, ‘This is one of my favourite flights I’ve ever had. There’s nothing like being able to take your bunny on the plane. Coco seemed very happy in the cabin.’ Image credit: Takako Ogawa/ Facebook Image: Facebook Related Posts Cape Town’s sustainability: Leading the way in environmental initiatives 1 June 2023 As National Environmental Month commences in South Africa, Cape Town stands proudly at the forefront... read more Kapama to host Safari Guide of the Year Awards 2023 1 June 2023 Kapama Private Game Reserve near Hoedspruit will host this year’s Safari Guide of the Year... read more Blood Lions relaunches for public viewing on YouTube 1 June 2023 Award-winning documentary feature film Blood Lions has been relaunched on YouTube for public viewing, creating... read more PREV ARTICLE NEXT ARTICLE
