The ashes of a big-eyed, brown and white puppy named Lisa that died last week in a plane crash in New York’s Catskill Mountains will be delivered to the late animal rescue pilot's family.

Animal rescue groups across the country, including one in Fayette County, are mourning 49-year-old Seuk Kim, a beloved volunteer with Pilots N Paws who died in a plane crash while rescuing dogs.

Authorities say a pilot and a rescue dog he was transporting to an animal shelter were killed when a small plane crashed in the snowy woods of the Catskill Mountains.
