The pilots in the following story are using their airplanes to save lives. The following picture story was featured at www.thechive.com.

Volunteer pilots save dogs from euthanasia by flying them to their new homes (17 Photos)
-
- Wings Of Rescue, an extraordinary volunteer organization run by dedicated pilots, flies dogs from shelters overflowing with animals to those that can find them new homes. Often, the dogs they transport would have been euthanized hours later if it weren’t for these pilots. The organization has saved over 12,000 dogs since 2009, when it was formed. Flights cost roughly $80 per dog, and you can donate to their cause on their website HERE.
