Duke the Cat joins SFO's Wag Brigade

Details: Duke Ellington Morris was found starving in a feral cat colony in the city. "After a short stint at San Francisco Animal Care and Control, Duke spotted a young human that he decided was his ticket to a better life," according to a press release from SFO.

• Since he was certified by the San Francisco Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, he has been "helping humans of all ages deal with stress, illness, hardship, and putting smiles on their faces when they need it most."

Worth noting: There are currently 19 members of the brigade, with plans to add 10 more in the coming months, SFO spokesperson Doug Yakel tells Axios.

• The crew is mostly comprised of dogs, but "there is also one rabbit, one pig and now one cat!" Yakel said in an emailed statement.
