First flight of rescued pets to California homes

SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) -- The first major airlift of dogs from the hurricane-battered Gulf Coast left Louisiana on Sunday, carrying about 80 pets to new temporary homes in California.

The Continental Airlines flight from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, was chartered for about $50,000 by Texas oil tycoon Boone Pickens and his wife, Madeleine, in a movement dubbed "Operation Pet Lift."

I find it cool that he doesnt seem like most most oil tycoons...He gladly gives $$$ away to help folkz, So much so that when he gave $$$ to his alma-mater Oklahoma State to remodel their aging football facilities, OSU felt honored and named the stadium T.Boone Pickens Field.
