30 days ago, Skippy was brought into the shelter from the Dallas community as a stray unable to use his legs.
Skippy was time-stamped for euthanasia at the shelter and we decided to pull him. We didn& #39;t know if he would ever walk again, but he needed a solid medical plan.

Skippy was hospitalized at VEG and diagnosed with parvo...we almost lost him. He won that battle & was discharged 5 days later. Skippy spent 3 weeks recovering in medical foster with Sheri. He needed to get strong to be able to travel to NYC to continue his journey.

We spent 2 weeks trying to find him a flight, we couldn& #39;t put Skippy on ground transport, his body would not have been able to endure the 48 hr trip. A flight was the only safe & comfortable option.

We were striking out finding a flight from DAL to NYC... UNTIL YESTERDAY.
We got word from our good friend, pilot, navy vet, rescuer Sali, that @Amazon was willing to fly Skippy with their ATI TEAM!!

At 4:30pm we got a message from the pilot: "Hey guys, Todd here/(captain). Skippy had the first-class meal, watched the inflight movie, got lots of ear scratches & belly rubs, then passed out. Getting him ready to get off the plane now."
