An Ameriflight Swearingen SA-227 with 3 crew and 53 passenger dogs on board attempting to land at Waukesha,WI opted instead for a long drive to the third hole at the Western Lakes Golf Club. The dogs were successfully evacuated with none of them bringing their personal belongings. Good dogs! The dogs are said to have not sustained serious injury but many will probably require an additional emotional support dog to fly with them in the future. There is an unsubstantiated *speculation* that the crew declared emergency and when the tower requested souls-on-board, a Cartesianist philosophical argument ensued in the cockpit, distracting from the task of flying. If so, it will be the pilots in the dog house now.
