Shadow is a "psychiatric service animal who has helped McManus with separation anxiety."
To help out his furry friend, McManus built a special harness for his hang glider so that Shadow could come along.

“He’ll put his little paws and arms out around me and hang onto my arm and get right with it,” he said, according to the interview. “He shifts his weight. He looks down at the ground. He looks around at the other gliders in the air.”

“As we always say, home is where the heart is,” McManus said. “And I think this is where his heart is. He was born to fly.”
