Anyone else out there have a trusty dog by their side for hunting?

This is Chavo. 13 summers old. A rez dog from New Mexico. He found me on a long dirt road in the mountains and took me home. He's slept in the bend of my leg every night since.

He's tangled with bears, deer, antelope, javelina, skunks, rattlesnakes, porcupines and a list of rodents as long as your leg. He's taken over 250 stitches and given about 150. Chavo has a few notches in his pistol.

He is spending his retirement sidekicking on a trout boat and training his protégé and successor, Trigger.

Chavo sounds like an absolute legend! He’s certainly lived a life full of adventure, hasn't he? Bears, rattlesnakes, and 250 stitches? Blimey, I reckon that makes him tougher than most! Enjoy those well-earned retirement days on the trout boat, Chavo. And Trigger’s got some big paws to fill, but it sounds like he’s got the perfect mentor. Cheers for sharing, mate—gave me a proper smile!
