109ace Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 This is my most special build. I built this to help out a little spitz dog that was tossed out a third floor window on the south side of Chicago. The poor dog lay in the snow in the front yard for three days before somebody helped her. She suffered a broken back. She was rescued and taken to a vet for examination. She broke her back in three places and needed a $5000.00 surgery. I offered to build something special to sell on Ebay with all the proceeds going toward her vet bill. I figured it was good for a couple hundred bucks. The auction ended at $880. The gentleman who bought it sent the rescue an additional $1000.00 to help.Rose got her surgery and is living a great life with a new family in Northwest Indiana. 20mb image hosting Gazzas, Shaka HI, TorbenD and 21 others 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennismcc Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 That's a nice ending for what could have been really nasty, and a very tasty Spitfire model as well. Cheers Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aircommando130 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Great job on a great airplane! Really appreciate people who open their heart and wallet to help animals in need. I donate a couple times a year to Monkey House in NJ. They care for elderly dogs that have been abandoned or have a terminal illness and make them comfortable in their last months before they go to Rainbow Bridge, 109ace 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
