A pilot generously flies a shelter dog 400 miles, granting her the chance to spend her remaining days with a caring and devoted family

Doctors said that she only had a couple of weeks to live, so this pilot flew her to her adoptive family 400 miles away so that her final days would be filled with love.


Ashlyn was an elderly dog in a North Carolina shelter, and she wasn't doing well. She'd lost a lot of weight and had sarcomas, which were malignant tumors beneath her skin. But it wasn't too late for her to strike gold.


When the New England Humane Society (NEHS) identified a suitable home for Ashlyn to spend the last few weeks of her life, all she needed was a means to get there. So the founder of Flying Fur Animal Rescue (FFAR), Paul Steklenski, decided to fly her up on his plane.
