I just got a call from my dad, someone found and returned his dog today. Apparently the gator didn't get her; possibly snapped at her and scared the crap out of her so she ran off. Anyhow, Dad is pumped He's been heartbroken after losing his best pup. When the guy found the pup it was at night while frogging. She jumped right in the boat when he approached her. They frogged until daylight and when he pulled up to his camp she immediately treed 2 squirrels for him, he shot and ate them.

Coincidentally the guy that found the pup, lost his squirrel dog of 12 years last season. As a token of appreciation dad offered his other pup (yes, the squirrel bitten one) to the guy as a reward for returning his best pup. The guy was very appreciative and said he could break him of being scared of squirrels.

Anyway, I figured I'd share a happy puppy story with all of the unfortunate ones we've had lately.

There is no question he can... A buddy & I were squirrel huntin friday and discussed this thread. A good squirrel bitin is great for a squirrel dog on occassion. Best of luck to all.

We are actually lookin for another good pup if anyone knows of one... Fiest, Terrier, or Cur preferrably.
