Try this link to see fellow POG member in the news. I know you all have heard some about Jon saving dogs with his Pilots N Paws rescue flights. Here he gets some well deserved press from the Knoxville News Sentinal. I don't know how to make it a "live link" so you will have to copy and paste. If someone knows how to make it a live link, feel free to do so and re-post.

It looks like it made it as a "live link," so you might not have to copy and paste.

Also read the comments at end of article. Very nice.

Thanks for the comments. What is unfair is I get recognition for flying a plane when the real heroes are the folks who rescue these pups from shelters that are going to kill them. These rescues shelter and care for the pups until they can find a permanent home, foster home or another rescue in a different region that can find permanent homes.

Debi is the rescue person that made me aware of the pressing need to transport animals to areas where permanent homes are available.

She and her counterparts are the ones that need the recognition, and they need pilots to help do the transports. Which is why we formed pilotsnpaws and are pushing so hard to enlist as many pilots as possible.
