When a pilot on an animal-rescue mission died in a plane crash in upstate New York, a dog he was transporting also died, officials said. But two others survived, including one that was found in a snowy hole he had dug with broken legs. The pilot, Seuk Kim, 49, was traveling to Albany with three dogs from Maryland when he crashed on Sunday in Windham, N.Y., about 35 miles from Albany in the Catskill Mountains, according to the authorities. Peter Kusminsky, the Greene County sheriff, said Mr. Kim had experienced poor visibility during the flight and had requested permission to change his altitude because of turbulence in the air. The sheriff said the authorities subsequently received a no-voice 911 call from Mr. Kim’s phone at about 6:10 p.m., followed by calls from the Air Force and an Albany airport saying that Mr. Kim’s plane had flown off their radars.
