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:
Ranger at the shelter, waiting for a home.
Pilot #1, Sarah Owens had to drive the first leg due to weather.
Back in Chicago, readying the plane for our flight to EOK.
Slobber-proofing the back seat!
Turning final at EOK.
Here comes Pilot #2, Sam Taylor with the canine cargo!
Ranger and Pilot Sam.
Am I home yet?
Sam and Ranger. Look how Ranger poses.
Me, Sam, Ranger, and my SR22.
Ranger "attacks" me with kisses! Anne Marie accompanied me to help out.
Kisses for Anne Marie. All buckled in to the back seat.
Going home! Shedding all over Anne marie in the back seat.
Nap time lasted approximately 3 seconds.
Home at last! With new Mom Kelli Cameron.
Aw, how nice. Kelli brought flowers for the pilot!

What a great story! Maybe you should market trips with people’s dogs…

Ranger is a very lucky dog. How awesome for everyone to pull together for the little guy.
