Hope on the Horizon: Dog Rescue in the Sky
“Flying Fur,” a documentary produced by Path 88 Productions, follows the remarkable volunteer work of Paul Steklenski.
As often as three times each month, the Pennsylvania pilot flies his plane south to high-risk kill shelters, loads dogs on board and flies them north to find their forever homes.
As Steklenski notes in the film, “It wasn’t that animal rescue was incidental to the flying; flying became incidental to the animal rescue. That became the reason to fly.”
The powerful documentary explores both the challenges the rescue network must overcome, as well as the skill, dedication and emotions that are required to transport these pets to happier lives.
