Rusty the grouse dog

[Dean Romig]

Yup, there are times when it is best to not know.

Turns out the transient father with two teenage boys living in a rental down the hill from me was away (he would leave those boys unsupervised for days at a time) and when Rusty wandered down by the property line one of the kids shot him out the window.

I would definitely have gone to jail....

I can't remember the writer that first penned that every man deserved a once-in-a-lifetime grouse dog, but I've been blessed with two. It's hard not to long for the days when you went into a cover with that dog knowing that any grouse there would be pointed.

Tom, you had him, and you still do.

Dean I understand the part about going to jail over it. My friend's wife told him if he had been younger the guy would have been dead immediately. It seems his favorite and best deer dog was crossing the farm field of his neighbor when the neighbor shot him. With tracking collars, it was easy to find him. So he gets revenge every day, probably not really what the S.O.B. deserves, but the best he can do at this point. The sign has been there for years.
