In April last year,I saw a post on the PNP(Pilots N Paws)website
from a family in Topeka.They had to move to Virginia but they were on
a very tight budget.They could not afford to pay for transportation
for their dog,Tiffy,and desperately wanted to take her with them.
It just happened that I was planning another PNP flight with
another pilot,Karen,who offered to take Tiffy from Kansas City to
Virginia.What I was to do was fly to Topeka to pick up Tiffy.
When I met Tiffy's owners,they seemed very nervous.George,
the husband,was trying to be calm,but I could tell this was hard for
him,having to leave his dog to a stranger and trust that everything
would work out.
After some goodbyes,I asked George and his wife to help me load
Tiffy into the plane.I promised to take care of Tiffy and call them as
soon as we got to Kansas City.
The flight was uneventful,and Tiffy was a great passenger.The
next day,she flew with Karen and made it back to George in Virginia
within a few days.He was so thankful and sent me a nice e-mail with
pictures.It felt great to know that I had helped bring this family
together again.
