The dogs were flown Air China directly from Beijing to JFK having been rescued by the group No Dogs Left Behind. 'It is a great feeling, holding him, knowing what could have happened if he wasn't rescued,' said Laura O'Keefe of West Islip, New York. The team usually confront the illegal traffickers directly and threaten to turn them into the Chinese authorities where they could face hefty fines. 'No Dogs Left Behind fights the fight on the front lines.' The charity targets slaughterhouses, wet markets, traffickers and illegal breeders across China in order to prevent them from being turned into canine meat.
