Kevin Costner’s Heartwarming ‘Tail’

ET is with Kevin Costner as he spreads the word about a new way to save homeless, lovable dogs from being euthanized in overcrowded animal shelters and to find them a new home -- via private jet!

In a "Freedom Flight" from his home in Aspen, CO, to Edmonton, Alberta, the Oscar winner is talking about the rescue efforts of The Orange Dog (www.orangedog.ca), which has rescued more than 300 small breed dogs.

"When this plane is operating at its best, it's not just taking people around the world, it's hauling animals, courtesy of Jan Folk, who created Orange Dog, [which is] essentially an exchange of animals that were going to be euthanized," says Kevin. "Instead of having that happen, [the dogs are] now making their way to Canada, having a second chance at life."
