To most of us who hunted with Gunner, he was not just a dog, he was a hunting buddy. It's hard to lose family and friends, but once you've had a hunting buddy, a true hunting buddy, it's really hard to lose them.
Gunner brought a lot of joy to many of us in the predator hunting world, either through direct contact or watching him work in videos. He will truly be missed.
Tony, my prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. You don't need me to tell you how much my family loved Gunner. (We chose to spend three consecutive family vacations with you and Gunner, and would have loved to make it more.) With Gunner's passing all of us who knew him have lost a hunting buddy, but the two of you were BEST hunting buddies, and that's a steep loss. Our prayers are with you and your family, and we will never, ever forget Gunner. He was truly one in a million, and we will forever be grateful to you for training him up to be like he was, and then sharing him with the rest of us.
Linda
