When Seuk Kim took off from Maryland last weekend with three small dogs aboard his small plane, it turned out to be the last of his many volunteer flights to rescue animals in need

Seuk Kim, 49, was a pilot, animal rescuer and father of three. He began flying during the pandemic and, having a passion for animals, he started rescuing dogs. "He stumbled across a rescue organization in which pilots could fly animals, dogs, cats, bunnies, you name it," his daughter said.
