My favorite lost story was the fall I left Denver to return to Alaska. They leave (or used to in the past) a weekend between seasons in Co to get all the lost ones found. A news report announced SAR had found the remaining missing hunter on Sunday afternoon.. The helicopter picked him up about 200 yards from where they had found him the year before.

We joked that the next year he would just tell his wife "Have the chopper pick me up in the usual place".


The only true cost of having a dog is its death.
