Come with me to get the pups ready for their flight. Today the pilots are taking Fortune home and her 3 puppies to the next stage in their journey to becoming a guide dog. When the pups arrived, we gave them lots of cuddles and let them play. We also took them on a walk to get any last-minute energy out. By the time we got to the airplane, they were all tired out. I loaded them into their seats and said a very sad goodbye. Thank you so much to Pilots to the Rescue for allowing me to be part of their journey. I hope to fly with you again soon.
