Awesome Pete!
I had guessed that it was a pilots and paws activity. Yet another good use of the pilot certificate I long to get my paws on.

Can't see all pictures!
I do not "see" all the pictures, do others have this problem? Some I can see, but not all. I tried clicking the right mouse button and "show picture" but that does not display them either???
Regards, Tonny.

I showed them to my wife and she is getting closer to flying now as well (she is totally into animals, totally not into flying!).
Thanks, Tonny.

Wow, Pete, great story. I grew up with a Boxer named Mike. Great dogs. Rescuing them is special.
If you need a hangar on any of your trips down here, there is an empty 42X45' here at OVO. It wasn't quite big enough for our 9A and a Colt without wing interference. It will be open at least until late summer.

Thanks Bob!
I was on a tight schedule or I would have dropped in to say hello.

Great Story
Pete,
What a fantastic story! I'm a dog lover and pilot, and that looks like a really, really cool experience. Did you have the dogs restrained at all in the plane? Were you at all concerned about them climbing on you, moving the fuel selector, etc?
Checked out the pets and paws website - seems like a real good organization.

Light Restraint
Hi Mark,
The pups were loosely tied down. I had given them benadryl to make them sleepy and the previous 2 pilots said they were great, calm travellers. That gave me peace of mind. On final at Anoka, Belle popped up over my shoulder - other than that, they slept for the 4 hour journey.
I would have taken more precautions if the previous pilots had reported trouble.
