Mike, the story you are looking for is titled "Nervous Breakdown" written by Gordon MacQuarrie. Page 127 in the book titled "More Stories of The Old Duck Hunters". Published by Willow Creek press edited by Zack Taylor in 1983. It's a great story as all MacQuarrie stories are.

Every true upland hunter should, in his lifetime, have one good shotgun and one good bird dog.
