The Tragic Accident
On February 2, 2023, a devastating accident occurred in the Catskill Mountains, claiming the life of Seuk Kim, a volunteer pilot with the Pilots N Paws organization. Kim was flying three small dogs from Maryland to Albany, New York, when the plane he was piloting crashed.
Cynthia is a volunteer at the Fayette County Animal Shelter. She has seen firsthand the impact of Kim’s efforts.
Kim’s Mission
Kim’s mission was to transport dogs from the Fayette County Animal Shelter to other parts of the country, giving them a second chance at a happy life. He would often travel long distances to find new homes for the dogs, and his efforts were not limited to just transporting dogs. Kim would also advocate for sick animals and those awaiting adoption.
The Impact of Kim’s Efforts
Kim’s efforts had a significant impact on the community. Cynthia Saracino, a volunteer at the Fayette County Animal Shelter, has seen firsthand the impact of Kim’s efforts.
“It’s a lot. His contribution is huge. It’s going to be felt for a long time, his loss,” Saracino said.
