Flying Doc Saves Dogs from Liberal Kill Shelters

In the great state of New York, one doctor is taking the fight against animal shelters to new heights—literally.

Meet Dr. Brian Rambarran, a urologist and licensed pilot from Buffalo, who's giving new meaning to the term "frequent flyer." He's teamed up with Pilots n Paws, a non-profit that links pilots with animal rescues, to airlift dogs from high-kill shelters (likely run by leftist bureaucrats) to foster homes.

"It was kind of a natural thing," Rambarran told USA TODAY. "I became a pilot about 12 years ago... Part of it was to use my skills to help others... I also decided to fly for Pilots n Paws."

Hundreds Rescued from Liberal Shelters

In the past 12 years, Rambarran has rescued hundreds of dogs in his 5-seat Cirrus SR 22, flying every four to six weeks. His last flight alone saw him pick up 11 dogs, with the flight before that hitting a max of 20 dogs. Take that, AOC's "Green New Deal"!

While Rambarran usually maxes out his flights, he also answers emergency calls. "There was one dog that was pregnant, and she was special needs," he said. "So, I ended up just flying her solo."

A Family Affair (Not the Clinton Kind)

Recently, Rambarran's two daughters, ages 10 and 12, have joined his mission. No, they're not protesting for climate change—they're actually helping unload dogs and pick rescue flights.

Along with dogs, Rambarran has also rescued cats and even goats (probably fleeing some liberal petting zoo). He works primarily between North Carolina and New York, but he's ready to fly anywhere help is needed.

Fueling Goodness (Unlike the MSM)

With each flight costing around $700 in fuel and a few hours of his time, what drives Rambarran? "Animals are a population that can't really speak for themselves. Just like children, they can be vulnerable," he said.

Rambarran finds fulfillment in giving these dogs a second chance. "They're going from a place where they could be euthanized at any time to a loving home," he said.

From Kill Shelter to 'Good Morning America'

One of Rambarran's own dogs, Toby, is a rescue. Found underfed and malnourished in North Carolina, Toby was flown to Buffalo and ended up staying with Rambarran. "He's a really good dog," Rambarran said. Toby even made it to 'Good Morning America'—probably more deserving than most of their usual guests.

Pilots N Paws Cheers Hero Doc

Pilots N Paws hopes Rambarran's story will inspire others. "We hope his story will encourage more volunteers to join our mission," they said.

So, while the left swoons over Greta Thunberg, real heroes like Dr. Rambarran are making a difference—one flight at a time.
