I made a shot with a bow on a doe with my kids in the stand in an urban archery hunt. Some walkers/hikers bumped the doe just after the shot and it ran through a neighborhood. Two hours later our Corgi mix, 35 pound, couch potato of a house pet lead us right to the dead deer a couple hundred yards away from the shot.

Things mine has found: wifi box X2, air conditioner lines, siding, deck, stairs, heated mat, boots, pants, idk what else. He can stop finding stuff any day now. One day he grabbed a package of fish hooks and ripped it apart. I paid $150 for emergency x-rays to see if he had any in him. Then my daughter felt so bad she scoured the back yard and found all 50 hooks. I felt like a turd. I still blame the dog as the root cause.
