A Southwest Airlines pilot who flew over 100 animals to safety from areas affected by Hurricane Milton and Hurricane Helene gave one of the rescues a new family. The flight was part of a Southwest Airlines partnership with Lucky Dog Animal Rescue and Greater Good Charities that got 145 cats and dogs out of Tennessee and Florida to shelters in Milwaukee on Oct. 12th. Southwest Airlines Capt. Matthew Prebish adopted a kitten named Avery. "A midflight adoption was not something we planned to do during this amazing flight, but some things are meant to be," said Lucky Dog Founder and CEO Mirah Horowitz. The flight also delivered humanitarian supplies to residents affected by Hurricane Helene in North Carolina.
