Oregon outdoor writer of another era said it best in his piece about the loss of a beloved bird dog- In the very first issue of Gun Dog, some while ago, I read it and was touched deeply- "Where to bury a Dog"-- Reading it will not heal the "torn heart- if I can borrow a line from a Kipling poem from the 1890's that deals with the same loss, albeit in a different style--but I have kept it with that issue, as I have kept the collars, tags, whistles and either FDSB or AKC registration papers from: Molly, Dixie, Montana, Duchess, Murphy, Rommel and more recently, Khartoum-- all gone, none forgotten-never!!
