Dixie & the Dixie Cups

Share This Story!

Dan Landry had been signed up with Pilots N Paws for quite some time but never had the opportunity for a mission until recently.

 

His mission was to escort Dixie & the Dixie Cups from Quincy, FL to Seminole, FL (225sm). Dixie has one bad eye, heartworm & was living under a shed with her 6 puppies. Dan delivered her to a rescue.

Dixie is a good mother, but an escape artist. Dan placed the puppies on the right seat & Dixie in the kennel in the rear baggage area. He went into the FBO before departure. When he returned, Dixie had escaped the airplane. Dan placed her back in & secured the kennel better.

 

Well, 20 minutes into the 75 minute flight, out comes Dixie. She was a good girl & came out to check on her pups & then went back to rest on the top of her kennel to enjoy the view.

Dan delivered them all to their final destination without issues.
