Ranger’s rescue.

I planned to blog about yesterday’s Pilots N Paws rescue flight of the dog Ranger, who traveled from Emporia, KS to his new home in St. Charles, IL. But why work like that when I can just link to the Chicago Tribune article, and instead just post the photos of his journey?

And here you have it, Ranger’s rescue:
