Most of us know the Proclaimer’s song, “I Would Walk 500 Miles,” and now you will know about our Pilot who flew 1,000 miles to save 10 puppies.

Thank you Pilot Jeff Spencer for sharing your story with us:

“Normally I try to keep my PNP flights to 6 hours or less roundtrip, but I decided to make an exception to save 10 beautiful pups from Alabama and Georgia.  My first pickup, a border collie mix named Prissy, was from rescuer Karen Jones in Auburn, AL.  I then flew on to Bainbridge, GA where I picked up 9 more pups from Beth Eck of the Bainbridge Decatur County Humane Society.

Two hours and 10 minutes after takeoff from Bainbridge, I touched down at Tampa Executive and met representatives from several different rescue groups.  Thanks to Ewenity Farms, Florida All Retriever Rescue, Community Concern for Animals and the Lakeland SPCA for giving these pups another chance at life!  The roundtrip flight was over 9 hours and 1,000 miles but more than worth it for me.”
