Two dogs that survived an animal-rescue flight crash that killed the pilot last fall have found new homes. Meanwhile, the late aviator’s friends are forming an organization to honor him by helping more pets. The Nov. 24 crash in New York’s Catskill Mountains killed Seuk Kim of Springfield, Virginia. He was flying three dogs to an organization near Albany, New York. One of the dogs, a Labrador-mix puppy named Whiskey, had two broken legs and needed surgery and physical therapy. The Animal Shelter of Schoharie Valley says Whiskey’s foster family is formally adopting him at a ceremony this weekend. The other surviving dog, named Pluto, was less seriously injured and has been adopted.
