Liam might have been used as a breeder. His short hind legs are scrapped bare of fur in sections and he has muscle atrophy, a bow-legged symptom of having been confined for long periods.

But this 106 pound, 2 year old was full of good humor on his bouncy walk out of the Davidson County shelter this morning to the Lexington, NC airport (KEXX). There, PNP pilot Kevin Sisson’s Cessna 421C (a Golden Eagle) based in RDU, was waiting for take-off.

Liam relaxed in a soft crate under the plane’s back seats for the ride.

Two hours later he found himself in a sudsy bath in his foster home in Richmond, VA then settled in for the night on a cozy bed.
