Happy Birthday Pilot Peter!

May 15th is Pilot Peter’s birthday and he’ll be flying dozens of dogs to safety on a rescue mission.  In fact, he has 2 rescue flights this week! Will you join in the celebration by leaving a birthday message for Peter in the comments at the bottom of this page?

We’ll share every note with Pilot Peter during the rescue flight on his Birthday from California all the way to Washington and Montana! Every message will help make his day more special while he’s in flight!

If you’re interested in making a donation in honor of Peter’s birthday, you can make a gift to Dog is My CoPilot through Peter’s birthday fundraiser on Facebook.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Peter. You are an incredible spirit who has dedicated his life to so many abandoned souls. Without you life would be lost for so many animals. Thank you for your commitment to this project from those lives you’ve saved and lives that you have touched with your service!

    Hey Peter,
    One man DOES make a difference, and that would be you. You’re an inspiration for me and every time I want to spend money somewhat casually, or get some sort of windfall, I think of donating $50 to save a life through your organization. Dogs are such a huge part of my life, that I’m thrilled to support your work and all that you do.
    Keep on flyin’!

    Happy birthday, Peter!! I must admit that I’m a little jealous that you get to spend your birthday with so many dogs. I spent my birthday with our 2 dogs, both of whom were flown up from California. (I live in Washington.) You are a wonderful example of how one person can do so much good in the world. 😍

    Peter, there are not enough words, hugs, puppy kisses or kitty cuddles to express the appreciation for what you started and what DOG has accomplished. May you continue to be blessed on your birthday and always and know how much you are loved, admired and appreciated. It is an honor to support your work. God speed!

    Peter, *You are an ANGEL on Earth*, living life from your compassionately-driven heart, and giving a second chance at life to so many animals who were almost ‘defeated’ . May all the Universe’s good Karma come right back at you everyday, in some way so you know you are LOVED! Wishing you a very blessed & happy Birthday tomorrow (15th)!.
