Parkers/Setters--Trajedy to miraculous recovery

[Blind Dog]

Harold, I know the feeling and the relief when it turns out not so bad. Ten or fifteen years ago my neighbor, Roger, and his Wiemer, Midas, was hunting with me and my Pointer, Ringo, on the B&L coal lands in Noble County. Midas went over the edge of a "high wall" and we feared the worst. We went around and down to the pit and found him pretty well beat up and carried him out. He went on to hunt many more seasons and succeed in several trials. Both of those fine old dogs are gone now.

Harold, That story made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Glad it all worked out okay. Years ago a hunting buddy and I were chasing grouse in mid-Vermont and one of his Brittanies bolted out of the cover and hit a electric fence around a pasture. She bolted and it took us until the next morning to find here. As you said it was a long sleepless night. Any idea what happened to Betty?

I am happy it ended well. I too have lost a dog all night and you don't sleep at all. what a feeling when you find them.
