An animal-rescue pilot died in a crash. 2 dogs aboard are recovering

When Seuk Kim took off from Maryland last weekend with three small dogs aboard his small plane, it turned out to be the last of his many volunteer flights to rescue animals in need. Kim’s plane crashed Sunday in the Catskill Mountains, killing the 49-year-old pilot. Fellow volunteers say they're shattered by the loss of a selfless, can-do and caring man who used his love of flying to help animals. Two of the pups survived and are recovering. One is a 4-month-old Labrador-mix named Whiskey who was found huddled in the snow with two broken legs. The other is an 18-month-old Yorkshire terrier mix called Pluto who was found with minor injuries.
