Dogs are important part of Corporate Helicopters' history.

Ivor and Deann Shier have always loved dogs and helicopters. That’s why Corporate Helicopters is dog-friendly.

In this post, we paws to take a look back at some of our favorite friends, both current and past.

Maverick & Sophie

Maverick and Sophie, Golden Retrievers, enjoyed entertaining clients and opened the doors for the dogs to come.

Both camefrom the Golden Retriever Rescue Club of Greater Los Angeles, a non-profit volunteer organization dedicated to fining homes for their furry friends.

Both dogs lived long, full and very adventurous lives. They are remembered and missed every day.

Maverick’s favorite place was dog beach.

Blade

Blade was the dog of our Internet marketing expert, Brian Chernicky of Imagine Dynamic. A loving lab/pit, Blade craved adventure, and he tried a couple times to jump into helicopters as a stowaway so he could fly!

Sadly, blade passed at age 4 from a form of genetic cancer, but he got to live a great life in those years and made a lot of people happy in his short life.

Louie

Louie is the latest addition to the Corporate Helicopter K9 division.

Louie is still deciding if he wants to work with Osama in the busy maintenance department…

…or just be a company greeter from the couch. Stay tuned for the adventures of Louie.

As you can tell, Corporate Helicopters loves dogs.

We urge fellow dog and helicopter lovers to consider supporting the two canine charitable organizations below.
