A dozen pilots have spent the last three weeks helping fly 100 animals from flood ravaged South Carolina to rescue groups in the northeast, where the animals will be placed in permanent homes. A Pediatric neurosurgeon insisted on helping by flying even though he'd just lost his mom. He was told he didn't have to do this but he insisted saying I need to be there, I want to. My mom would be proud. The nonprofit organization organized the transfers for dogs left homeless .There were puppies to fully-grown corgis flown to shelters and rescue groups in Washington D.C.

They say you can tell a lot about a society by how it treats its animals. I would say this article says a lot of positive things about this community of pilots.

I love corgies, and note that this is a good distraction from the pain of loss, dogs are also good to help with the sads

All the pilots gave of their skills in operating a plane and asking for nothing in return. The pilot who lot his mom earlier felt it was a way to honor his mother.
