In a first, a small turboprop plane that typically seats 19 humans has been retrofitted with 50 cages to transport dogs and cats from one city to another.
Based out of Baltimore, Flying Pet Airlines flew from BWI to Chicago with 40 furry passengers making the trip. And how about this: The airline is sold out for its first two months. Pet
Airways serves Baltimore, New York, Chicago, Denver and Los Angeles,
but the company hopes to expand to 25 cities in a couple of
years.
But it's not cheap. The average ticket price is $250.

There's a new site on the block and they are trying to raise awareness for puppy adoptions. In doing so they've adopted (no pun intended) today, March 23 as National Puppy Day.
National Puppy Day is not only a day to celebrate the puppies in our lives, for how much joy, unconditional love and friendship they offer us, but to acknowledge the great need that many homeless puppies have for a loving and forever home and to educate the public about animal cruelty!
Their goal is to help save 10,000 homeless puppies across the nation in one day. Let's see if we can't help a little.

Positive news out of a terrible story:
Toni Fedor let her boyfriend baby-sit her dog, Sophie, while she worked --then was horrified to find her beloved pet had been beaten so severely the pup lost an eye.
Her now ex-boyfriend was sentenced Monday to 10 days in jail for injuring the Jack Russell terrier and ordered to pay nearly $1,500 in restitution to cover veterinary bills.
The jail time imposed on Randall Madison, 26, of Carol Stream is justified given the harm he caused, Fedor said.
And even better news is that Sophie has recovered from her injuries and is back to her normal, happy self.
