How to fly with your dog when money is no object
Imagine you’re about to zip up your suitcase for a much-awaited vacation, and there’s your four-legged companion gazing up at you with those soulful eyes. The thought of leaving them behind tugs at your heartstrings, especially when the only travel options seem to be less than ideal.Â
With commercial airlines tightening the leash on pet travel, your furry friend often ends up in a snug carrier or, worse, isolated in the cargo hold. But what if there was a better way?
Enter the world of private jet charter companies like Bark Air and K9 Jets, who are realizing that there’s a segment of dog owners willing to break the bank for a chance to soar the skies with their pets in the lap of luxury. No more cramped spaces or lonely journeys — just you and your pet, flying high with ease and comfort.

Transporting canines coast-to-coast
Bark Air is making cross-continental cuddles a reality, starting with routes from New York to Los Angeles and London. It is teaming up with Argus, a platinum-rated charter company.
However, this pet pampering doesn’t come cheap. Pricing will vary based on routes, time of year, and roundtrip or one-way tickets. For example, flights between New York and Los Angeles cost $12,000 roundtrip per dog (and the human companion flies free). A one-way ticket from New York to Los Angeles costs $6,000, and New York to London costs $8,000.
The company says:
“We plan to add more routes, more infrastructure, more equipment, more staff, and more over-the-top dog-first amenities unlike anything in the market.”

John Wayne’s lifelong leading role as American patriot celebrated at Fort Worth museum
A legendary American actor’s love affair with the United States is retold today in the heart of Fort Worth, Texas.Â
John Wayne: an American Experience opened in Dec. 2020 in the Forth Worth Stockyards. The museum is devoted to the life of the legendary film star, national icon and unabashed patriot.Â
The museum sits in a perfect location for the performer famed for his starring roles in the biggest western films of all time, including “Fort Apache,” “El Dorado” and “Rio Bravo.”
It faces Cowtown Coliseum, one of the nation’s premier rodeo venues, and is steps from Billy Bob’s Texas, the sprawling nightclub and live-music venue that dubs itself “The World’s Largest Honky Tonk.”
“Dad was super popular in his lifetime and he’s still popular today,” son Ethan Wayne, one of the family members who operates John Wayne Enterprises and the museum, told Fox News Digital.Â
“America, Why I Love Her,” was a spoken-word 1973 album by actor John Wayne. The legendary actor’s deep patriotism is celebrated at John Wayne: An American Experience in Fort Worth, Texas. The museum opened in Dec. 2020 in the Fort Worth Stockyards. (Kerry J. Byrne/Fox News Digital)
“Every time you saw John Wayne you went on an adventure with him. But you also saw him make tough decisions and put self-respect over financial gain,” said his son. “He made moral choices rather than poor choices. Sprinkled in with those lessons, you got adventure, humor, toughness and compassion.”
Wayne wore his American heart on his sleeve with a blend of fierce toughness and deep compassion, his son said. He displayed both on movie screens around the world.Â
His career, perhaps unmatched, headlined half a century of films that spanned the Golden Age of Hollywood.Â
AMERICAN CULTURE QUIZ: TEST YOUR COMMAND OF CLASSIC HOLLYWOOD, KENTUCKY HORSES AND MORE
Wayne was born Marion Morrison in Iowa in 1907, his father a Civil War veteran. He was raised in California.Â
He was a star athlete at Glendale High School, stunningly handsome and, at an imposing 6-foot-4 inches tall, earned a spot on the University of Southern California football team.Â
He focused on acting after injuries cut short his sports career; while just a teenager, he had already earned uncredited and extra roles.Â

He appeared in 36 films by age 25 — with 100 more productions to follow.
John Wayne: the American Experience lists all of them, from “Bardelys the Magnificent” in 1926, to his 1939 star-making performance in “Stagecoach” and his last film, “The Shootist,” in 1976.Â
Wayne died in 1979, at age 72, after battling cancer.
“You ask me why I love her? I’ve a million reasons why.”
The museum displays images and memorabilia spanning the entirety of the actor’s career, with insight into his life off the screen.
Wayne emerged as a larger-than-life entertainment figure and an American folk hero. He became a symbol of the nation itself — both here in the United States and around the world.Â

The actor returned the nation’s loving embrace. At the center of John Wayne: the American Experience are displays of his patriotism.
Wayne entered the 1970s at the top of his career. He won the 1970 Academy Award for Best Actor — his first and only Oscar — playing Rooster Cogburn in the 1969 western “True Grit.”

In 1973, he earned a Grammy nod from the recording industry for his performance in the spoken-word album of poetry, “America, Why I Love Her.”Â
He also released a children’s book of the same name.Â

“You ask me why I love her? Well, give me time, and I’ll explain. Have you seen a Kansas sunset or an Arizona rain? Have you drifted on a bayou down Louisiana way? Have you watched the cold fog drifting over San Francisco Bay?” Wayne booms with stirring conviction in the album’s title track.Â
He says at the end of the poem: “You ask me why I love her? I’ve a million reasons why. My beautiful America, beneath God’s wide, wide sky.”

The words were written by James Mitchum, brother of actor Robert, who appeared with Wayne most recently in the 1970 western “Chisum.”
But they spoke deeply of Wayne’s own heartfelt faith in the nation, its people and the unmatched opportunity it has given many millions of people around the world.Â
“He made that album coming out of the trials and the tribulations of the 1960s, and he believed that America was made up of all kinds of different people who all had a lot of things in common,” said Ethan Wayne.Â
“He believed a lot of his success was because of America and that belief really meant a lot to him.”
“Most of us came here from different backgrounds but with common goals and common dreams to be free and to pursue our own happiness,” said the son.Â

“You know, he came from pretty humble beginnings — but he was able to achieve an incredible amount of success. He believed a lot of his success was because of America and that belief really meant a lot to him.”
John Wayne: An American Experience recently completed a 4,000-square-foot expansion. It hosts a three-day festival later this month ending on May 26, celebrating what would have been the actor’s 117th birthday.Â

Ethan Wayne believes some of his father’s perpetual popularity stems from the fact that many people see in him a personification of the United States itself.
“My father was smart, he was articulate, but he had this larger-than-life and bold personality,” the son said.Â

“He was very kind and loving and very gentle. But he had the capacity to be tough and violent if he needed to be. But he didn’t want to be if he didn’t have to be. He was reliable, consistent, worked hard, had a positive attitude and believed in right and wrong.”Â

Thomas Jefferson University apologizes after names mispronounced at graduation ceremony
Thomas Jefferson University apologized on Friday after a speaker mispronounced several graduates’ names during its nursing student graduation ceremony, to include the name Thomas, which is also in the university’s name.
The speaker mispronounced Molly Elizabeth Camp as “Mollina -Zabeth- Cap” and Thomas as “Tha-mo-may.” The woman corrects herself and says Thomas, but does not even attempt to say his last name, which is Canevari. Some of the other names mispronounced during Thursday’s graduation were May V. Lee Zubeth Brotoski, Syer Ovoon Jean June Breenun and Victoria Lee Zubithruss.
Some of the graduates appeared confused upon hearing the incorrect pronunciation of their names, while some laughed and others corrected the speaker.

Video of the speaker botching the names went viral on several social media platforms, including TikTok and X.
The university, located in Philadelphia, apologized for the mispronunciations in a statement Friday, saying the errors were due to “the way phonetic spellings were presented on the speaker’s cards, which was noted when the presenter apologized during the ceremony.”
“The leadership and faculty of Thomas Jefferson University extend our sincerest apologies for the mispronunciations of the names of several of our graduating nursing students during our recent commencement ceremony,” a spokesperson for the university said in a statement. “This ceremony is a celebration of the significant achievements of our students, and each graduate deserves to have their name honored correctly on this pivotal day.”

“We also recognize that commencement is not only a milestone for our students but also a deeply important day for their families and loved ones who have supported them throughout their educational journey, and we are deeply sorry for any disappointment this may have caused,” the statement continued.
The spokesperson added: “The mispronunciations occurred due to the way phonetic spellings were presented on the speaker’s cards, which was noted when the presenter apologized during the ceremony. This unfortunate error does not reflect the immense respect we have for our graduates and the value we place on their hard-earned accomplishments.”
