Wing and a prayer came from a WWII song.......You’re in a desperate situation and you’re relying on hope to get you home.  A famous American World War II patriotic song, with words by Harold Adamson and music by Jimmy McHugh.  It tells the tale of a plane struggling home after a bombing raid.  We at "A Wing and a Prayer Animal Rescue of Long Island" care for our animals just like the song says, our animals are in a desperate situation and we rely on hope to see our animals find a good home.
