Rescued Puppies
Puppies rescued from a high kill shelter in North Carolina on their way to Wings Field in northwest Philly area in a Columbia 400 (N2522F) where they will find forever homes. They were transported on Easter Sunday, 24 April 2011, under the Pilots N Paws rescue program. Of note is that one of the puppies never made it to Philly. The one with the black snout and red collar was taken home by the pilot. “Biff” joined the other rescue dog that the pilot had kidnapped back in September 2010. The picture was taken with a plain Nikon Coolpix digital camera.
