Lets see your best Friend

Throw the damn floaty toy!!!!



Ukie, a 7.5 year old mix breed rescue. Have had labs and Chessie's in the past, wife wanted a rescue. So 6 years ago, I went ice fishing to Slave lake and on the way home, we met at In The Woods animal rescue and she came home with us!

Been a real test of patience as she had been mistreated by a guy, so she and I had a lot of work to come to an understanding. Would not trade it for the world!!

Cheers

Speaking of man’s best friend…

I’m camped out on the lower Skeena waiting to catch a ferry to Haida Gwaii and found this hat in the bushes…





Maybe you guys already knew about the Tahltan bear dog but i had never heard of the breed
Small, the size of a terrier, but fierce and brave with a crazy bark that sounded like a yoedel that confused bears and held them at bay until the hunters arrived. Also porcupines and ptarmigan and other small game
This was before firearms and snow mobiles

A Tahltan women put that dog’s qualities into perspective pretty bluntly :

“…If you owned a Tahltan bear dog you ate. If you didn’t… you starved…”

Man’s best friend indeed
