On the first day of this year's summer travel rush, some qualified domesticated cats and dogs boarded on bullet trains accompanying their owners in Wuhan on Tuesday, as the pilot pet consignment service on high-speed railways expanded its scope from June 20.

Each traveler is allowed to bring one healthy pet weighing no more than 15 kilograms and standing no taller than 40 centimeters at the shoulder, accompanied by a valid quarantine certificate, according to China State Railway Group Co., Ltd. (Xinhua/Wu Zhizun)
