It's OK Jack,,,,,,,,,

"Good dog Jack"

Grainy photo from a cheap camera but this was Jack's first in the field retrieve. We had walked back into a backwater creek and I was hunting from shore. It was a cripple that he had to swim to and chase down, but he did not give up.

"Pick'em up Jack"

That is the command Jack would hear when it was time for him to do his thing.

An injury last year slowed him down physically but did not diminish his desire one bit. Fitted with a vest to help his flotation, he continued to hunt with me.

The new pup seemed to give him a revived energy even tho he could not keep up for very long at a time.

Yet he was content and we enjoyed each others friendship.

He now overlooks the place we hunted when we got these geese.

Rest in peace Jack

It's OK Jack, it's OK.

Good bye, Jack

Dave,

Sorry for your loss.

We all followed Jack's trials a while back and I feel like I knew him just a little bit. I admired his drive and the way he recovered from his injury and I admired the way you showed faith in his strength and rewarded his trust in you. The two of you demonstrated how strong the bond between the hunter and his dog can be.

My heart felt condolences Dave. I know how close you two were.

Day is done, gone the sun
From the lakes, from the hills, from the sky
All is well, safely rest
God is near.

Dave,
I am glad I had the opportunity to meet you and Jack. I know my kids adored him. If you have time tell us the story of his last hunt as well he overcame a lot with his injury and never lost his desire that says a lot about the dog. My heart goes out to you the time we get with them is never enough.

That just sucks Dave.
Jack was a Great Dog who showed courage in his pursuit of life even after a serious injury.
I can only guess the size of the hole in your house tonight.
Jack,
go in peace with the many others that have gone before you.
