Planes might not be the only thing you see taking flight Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport over the next few weeks. That\u2019s because a renowned dog photographer is currently exhibiting a series of adorable photos of canines quite literally flying through the air.<\/p>\n

Dogs in Flight features 10 images of the cutest canines running in nature, snapped at the precise moment all four legs are off the ground. The artist behind it is Jack Jackson<\/a>, a Toronto-based, award-winning dog photographer who forged an unparalleled bond with his own rescue dog, Jet, who sadly passed away in 2025.<\/p>\n

Commenting in a press release, Jackson said: \u201cI\u2019ve always believed that dogs have a way of changing our lives, and rescue dogs, perhaps more than any, remind us that we too can change.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo often, rescue dogs help us just as much, if not more, than we help them,\u201d said Jackson in the press release, adding: \u201cWhen surrounded by love, we all have the chance to fly\u2014every one of these photos represents a dog with a story and a chance at a new beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n
