note: for the time being it looks legit. However, the website seems to be no longer working at 0748PDT 16APR09

further note: I’m doubting the legitimacy on this, as it could be a fake or some particular person’s business plan for school projects. as of 0802AM 16APR09

Updated note #3: Just received a twitter message from Pet Airways. For more information please click here. as of 0914AM 16APR09
