Beauregard was my English setter but was really my best friend .We traveled all over the country and he was with me 8 of the 12 years in Alaska.He ran off Grizzlies,black bears and saved me from a house fire .I am going to miss him forever !

Condolences. Many men have a good dog or two in their lives, a few fortunate ones get to have had a great one, sounds like you fall into that category. The worst part of owning dogs is that you outlive them.


Attached is a pic of mine, thought you could use the chuckle (my wife and daughter bought the outfit for him, I have since hid it.)

So sorry,,, words fail.

RIP Beau

Good boy, Beau! Sorry for your loss . .

Cherish the memories. Sorry for your loss. Hasbeen

Yep he a once in a life time dog my cabin and life feel empty !

Sorry to hear of the loss of your Setter. A dog that can chase off a bear is certainly a special canine. You were lucky to have such a fine animal.

Your feelings have and are shared by many here! You are a better man for having your dog, many folks go thru life without ever knowing where YOU are..... Ive had many , do not stop till the bitter end!! the very best WinPoor

So sorry to hear about your loss. Been through it too many times already and we have two right now (and more than likely a few more afterwards)

Have fun in Canine Heaven Beau, I hear there's lots of stuff to chase and chew on up there and no one ever yells at you about it.

My Condolences,

Geno

So sorry.

I still think about my Springer Spaniel mix, best pheasant dog I or any of my friends ever hunted over. He was a special dog, one day a Doperin Pincher deceided to take a leap off a porch and take a bite out of me when when my Springer "BOB" deciede to take him by the throat and send him packing. A good dog is like a good wife, you only get on in this world, I had mine and it sounds like you had yours. Sorry for your lost. Yes I think about him, it has been 15 years. I do miss that dog!

Sorry for your loss. Honor your lost friend regularly and get yourself another asap. My wife and I decided that was best medicine years ago. We at all times have at least two canine companions under our roof at all times.
