Pilot takes puppy rescuing to new heights

Dan Drennan from Western New York loves flying, and he also loves dogs.
So when he was approached by some local rescue organizations asking for a favor, he didn’t think twice. Dan has flown everywhere from Texas to Kentucky to Ohio to rescue puppies. All in all, he’s transported about 500.

Dan flies with the Western New York Pilots Club, but when he’s making rescue flights it’s for Pilots N Paws, a non-profit organization that matches pilots like him, to rescues that need a hand. All of Dan’s flying is done on a volunteer basis.

“It gives me a place to go, and it’s for a really good cause. They guys all come from very high kill shelters and their outlook is not good,” he said. During the flights, Dan admits he often gets attached to his passengers, but said he’s always thinking about the next mission. “There’s always more. You want to get attached and all that, but there’s more dogs that need rides,” he says.
