for one of the best airport dog pictures of all time.

I'd post pictures of my cat, but while he was fascinated by working on sports cars, the airplane project hasn't really interested him.

Hershey was the hangar dog at Jack Kosko's place. Hershey died on January 9th of this year. He was estimated to be between 14 to 16 years old when he passed. Hershey lived a great life as a farm dog / hangar dog. He really was a wonderful dog and is missed by everyone.
