Biography & Adoption

Born in Central Illinois to parents in the beauty industry, he knew that was not the career for him. An aviation enthusiast visited his nest, interviewing potential copilots, and ultimately recruited Franklin for adventures in remote Alaska. From his early days, it was clear that Franklin wasn’t just a house pet—he was a traveler.

The First Flight: A Saab to St. Paul

Franklin’s aviation career started when he was just 7 weeks old. His very first Alaska flight was a journey across the Bering Sea to St. Paul Island. Traveling in a Saab aircraft, the young bunny handled the engine noise and cabin pressure like a seasoned pro. While many pets might find their first flight stressful, Franklin did incredibly well, setting the stage for the thousands of miles he would eventually log across the Last Frontier.
