Chesterfield, MO (KSDK) – At Spirit Airport in Chesterfield, there are no boarding passes for the 1 p.m. flight to Kansas City. Especially since the passengers today are dogs. “It’s kind of a cool mission because we are full both ways,” explained pilot Mike McGrath. McGrath is not only a pilot, he’s an animal lover. “My third child is my little shihpoo at home and she’s got me wrapped around her little paw,” he laughed.

That’s why McGrath got involved with Pilots-N-Paws. The organization is a squadron of private pilots and their planes that help rescue dogs and other animals from overcrowded so-called high-kill shelters. McGrath’s co-pilot on these missions is an ex-air force flyer. His dad. “We just enjoy flying together Mike, it’s just a total pleasure being together,” said 83-year-old Sam McGrath.

For this trip, no need to worry if the seat backs and tray tables are in the full upright position, these adorable bulldogs will be in a comfortable crate. With Pilots-N- Paws, all dogs go to the heavens and in this case, an hour and half later, they land in Kansas City into loving arms.

For this trip, no need to worry if the seat backs and tray tables are in the full upright position, these adorable bulldogs will be in a comfortable crate. With Pilots-N- Paws, all dogs go to the heavens and in this case, an hour and half later, they land in Kansas City into loving arms. “If not for Pilots-N-Paws, these dogs probably would have been euthanized at the shelter,” explained Jamie Lydell who will be caring for the bulldogs on their way to a forever home.
