I titled that photo "Striker Dog" because my old friend Charlie, who lived across the street when I was in my 30's, said he used to drive the wood roads of northern NH at night with his coon hound on the hood of his car. If they passed where a coon had crossed the road the hound would howl and jump off the hood after the coon. Old Charlie (he was in his 80's at the time) said they took a number of racoon that way and how he loved that dog. So when my buddy Dana and I found that car we just had to post "Gunny" on the roof in memory of Charlie. That's Dana in the driver's seat and he's holding one of his classic American doubles out the window- could be a Parker, a Fox or an Elsie- can't remember. He's the one that ruined me by getting me interested in Parkers.
