re: best friend/Hunting dog

Sorry about your loss. I tell my kids that God only lets dogs live for a little while so that we all have the opportunity to have more than one dog in our lives. Lived on their earth nearly 45 years and went through several great ones before I cried about a dog dying. That was a year and a half ago. Got a new dog and she’s probably my favorite I’ve ever had. A great dog will ease the pain of the ones before. Good luck.
