A
June day, Jeff Bennett flew his plane from the Florida Keys, to Greenville,
Ala. His mission: to save 23 dogs destined for death row.
Jeff
Bennett donates his time, fuel and plane
to Pilots N Paws, a South Carolina-based charity that enlists small plane
pilots to transport animals from overcrowded shelters that have high euthanasia
rates to foster homes, rescue groups and less-crowded shelters that don't kill
the animals.
On
the Greenville trip, Bennett picked up his 1,000th animal.
