This is the unbelievable moment a dog became the first canine to ever pilot a plane.
Shadow the dog used his paws to steer a jet around a figure-of-eight circuit at 3,000ft following weeks of training.
Shadow, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier-Collie, was one of three dogs to go through flight school as part of Sky 1 series Dogs Might Fly. The aircraft's controls were modified so Shadow could hit buttons in response to certain sounds.
