Pilot flies terminal shelter dog 400 miles to spend her last days with a loving family

She was only given a few weeks to live, so the pilot flew her 400 miles away to her adoptive family so that her last weeks would be spent with them.

Sadly, not every animal in a shelter has a successful outcome. A few months ago, a North Carolina animal shelter discovered that Ashlyn, a kind old dog, had cancer.

Despite the unlucky four-short footer’s life expectancy, a pilot made sure her final days were filled with love.

Ashlyn first noticed she was unwell when she experienced a brief bout of depression. Poor Ashlyn didn’t even have the energy to run or play at one time after veterinarians diagnosed her with cancer.

The dog didn’t have much longer to live, and the shelter had no way of getting her there soon. But there was one man who miraculously intervened to save the day.

Flying Fur Animal Rescue’s director and experienced pilot, Paul Steklenski, vowed to get Ashlyn there as soon as possible.

The adorable four-footer had already enjoyed the flight.

Paul shared a few photos of himself and his friend flying through the air, which are incredibly adorable and fascinating to see. Ashlyn took a few minutes to get used to the breeze, but you can tell she is enjoying herself. Paul gave her dog cookies as a reward whenever the dog felt uneasy in the breeze.

After noticing how much happier this pup was than she had been in recent weeks, the pilot started to cry during the flight.

Paul decided a few years ago that we would try to combine his two passions for flying and animals. Since he created Flying Fur Rescue, he has been moving animals from point A to point B.

As soon as Ashlyn met her new family, her smile reappeared.

Tracy Lancer took up the dog, a nice and compassionate woman who would make sure Ashlyn received lots of affection and tender loving care. Tracy was nonetheless shocked to see Ashlyn in such a state.

Ashlyn’s weight was regained, and Tracy saw to it that she got the best medical care.

Even though Ashlyn only had a few weeks to live, she is currently in good health.

In fact, you could say that she has changed completely. Her emotional and physical health have been good. Ashlyn is once more the puppy with limitless potential.
