Animal Lovers Cram Small Plane With 27 Puppies On Mission To Save Them From Being Euthanized

A group of animal lovers became internet and real-life heroes after posting a video of them aboard a small plane crammed with 27 puppies during a rescue mission to prevent the dogs from being euthanized.

Cassandra Bergeron and her friends had recorded the rescue during their 45-minute flight from the shelter in Enterprise, Alabama, to Orlando on September 29.

The TikTok video, which has since garnered 13.4 million views and 2.9 million likes, captured the puppies happily wagging their tongues and cuddling with their human saviours.

“I was in pure bliss. I didn't want to land,” Bergeron said. “I couldn't stop smiling the entire time.”

She and the other women made the rescue in July after Bergeron was asked by a pilot friend, who is in training, to help get the dogs from the shelter.

Many Southern states have been forced to euthanize animals in shelters because of overcrowding.

The women contacted Michael Young, a University of Central Florida professor and pilot, who has saved more than 7,000 dogs as part of Alabama Puppy Rescue Flights.

Bergeron said that the puppies were excited to see the women after they landed and played with them until it was time to board again.

The women made sure not to pack or bring anything that took up too much space in order to fit all the puppies.

Bergeron's video captured several of the puppies cuddling in her arms while the others were jumping on her friends in the back of the plane.

She captioned the video “Guess how many puppies we rescued?” as her and her friends were delighted to be in the puppy-filled aircraft.

The dogs were handed over to Florida rescue volunteers, who took the tiny creatures to Orlando-area shelters. They have all been adopted.

The Real Risks: Weighing Vaccine Side Effects vs. Deadly Diseases

Some dog owners express concern about vaccine risks. Meanwhile, preventable diseases continue to pose a documented threat. For example, a two-year pause in dog rabies vaccination campaigns in Haiti resulted in a five to eightfold increase in animal rabies cases within a single year, creating a public health crisis that required an emergency response. This event illustrates a central fact: the dangers of vaccine-preventable diseases are quantifiably greater than the known risks associated with vaccination. This article will address concerns about vaccine safety by examining the precise nature of both vaccine risks and disease threats, using verifiable data to support informed decision-making for your dog's health. The Biological Impossibility of Canine Autism The claim that vaccines cause autism in dogs is not supported by veterinary science due to fundamental biological reasons. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a human neurodevelopmental condition. Its diagnosis depends on asses...

Your Anti-Scam Checklist: How to Safely Find a Pet Online Without Getting Heartbroken

In 2023, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) received over 5,000 complaints specifically categorized as pet scams, with reported losses exceeding $3.5 million. This is not a niche crime but an organized criminal enterprise that systematically targets compassion. This guide provides a procedural defense based on data from the FBI IC3, the Better Business Bureau (BBB), and law enforcement advisories. Execute these steps in sequence. The Foundational Principles First, internalize these three principles: 1. Price Signals Legitimacy. The purchase price for a responsibly bred puppy from a certified breeder is a significant investment, often ranging from $1,000 to $3,000 or more, depending on the breed. Any listing significantly below the established market value is a primary indicator of fraud. 2. Trust Requires Verification. A legitimate breeder or seller expects and welcomes due diligence. Any resistance to scrutiny is a valid reason to terminate contact. 3. Urgency Enable...

5 Must-Ask Questions Before You Leave Your Dog at the Groomer

A 2022 study in the Journal of Veterinary Behavior noted that over 50% of dogs show signs of stress during grooming. While severe physical injuries are less common, a single preventable incident is one too many. Cases like those in Louisiana, where dogs received ocular chemical burns from misused shampoo at a licensed facility, demonstrate that a groomer’s marketing claims are not a guarantee of safety. Your dog’s well-being depends on the protocols you cannot see. The only way to evaluate them is to ask direct, specific questions. The goal is not to create conflict, but to identify competence and build trust based on transparent practices. 1. “What is your exact step-by-step protocol for protecting my dog’s eyes during the bath?” The difference between a safe groom and a dangerous one lies in the specifics of execution. Indicator of a Professional “Before the bath, we apply a sterile, vet-approved ophthalmic ointment to lubricate the eyes and create a barrier against shampoo. We av...
