One by one, paperwork was checked, photos were snapped with Bennett in front of the plane and then the dogs were loaded into a crate and into the plane. Bennett had taken out two of his plane's four seats to accommodate all the dogs; even then, an extra puppy had to ride on the lap of a reporter back to Florida. It was decided that Rex, a floppy-eared, mixed-breed puppy was Bennett's 1,000th animal. He kissed the pup's snout and hugged him tight. Soon after, the plane took off, bound for Florida. The dogs barked during the ascent, then grew quiet. Bennett stopped in Lakeland and Naples to unload the dogs, who were greeted by new volunteers
who would give them new homes. ___ Online: http://pilotsnpaws.org/
