A dog facing death in an Arkansas shelter has been saved by a group called Pilots N Paws, which is dedicated to providing transportation for animals. Mr. Muggles, a puggle (a cross between a pug and a beagle), arrived Tuesday at St. Louis Downtown Airport en route to IL-MO PugRescue. Melanie O’Brien, who arranged the trip, said she will list the dog on an adoption Web site. “This little guy was on the short list,” she said. “He was going to be euthanized within days.” O’Brien was unable to find anyone to drive the dog up from Arkansas, but heard about Pilots N Paws from a Tennessee rescue group. “My friend told me that pilots are always looking for an excuse to fly,” she said. Rick Hartley and his wife Cindy, who live in Marshall, Arkansas, volunteered for the mission. They flew Mr. Muggles from Mountain Home to St. Louis in their Cherokee 180.
