Despite being routinely ranked as one of the worst airports in the U.S. by travelers, New York City's John F. Kennedy International Airport has made notable gains in the past few years, opening a much-beloved Shake Shack in Terminal 4, an outdoor rooftop lounge on top of Terminal 5, and gleaming new club quarters throughout the airport. But it's not just humans who are getting more comfortable: The airport just debuted "pet relief facilities"—yes, pet bathrooms.

One of the most popular monuments to animal bravery can be found in New York City’s Central Park. A little north of the Children’s Zoo, the statue of a Siberian husky named Balto stands at attention on a granite rock. In February 1925 Balto led the final team of sled dogs that battled through 674 miles of snow and ice to bring diphtheria serum to the stricken children of Nome, Alaska.
