thanks alot guys. yeah it's really sad deal. I know bryan better then anyone so when he told me he could not go in after him I knew it had to be really dangerous. because he would do anything for him or for any dog for that matter. even a stangers. he said it happened really fast. I guess he droped his gun and ran around to where the water was draining out the other side but it was to late when he poped out the other side

when me and bryan were kids his dads dog had a litter. his dad always took us hunting before we could drive. when I asked to buy a pup his dad gave me one. he grew old as did his brother rio that brayn picked from the litter. they are both gone now. so years later when my dog sage had a litter I told bryan it was my turn to return the favor, so I gave him pick of the litter. he picked DRAKE. he was a big blocky headed bright white yellow. two weeks ago drake his mom sage and I were hunting chuckar. drake had two retrieves for me. that was the last time I saw him. but your right he got to go doing what he loved.
