[nagdu] seeing bullets and wearing orange

[Bryan Brown]

Again not to doubt , but the last hunting rifle I used had a bullet that 
traveled 3,200  feet per second it was a 3 38, your imagination can play big 
tricks on you when you're scared, I think she probably thought she saw it, 
but in reality, there is no way she saw  this bullet, I am again assuming 
she was very scared when this happened and her imagination played some 
tricks on her.

As far as dressing your dog in orange, It's my opinion, that your guide  dog 
shouldn't be running around in the woods alone at all, not only in hunting 
season, but at all, if someone is shooting at your dog, they are also 
shooting at you, you have more to worry about than your dog being shot, both 
you and your dog should be wearing orange if you're out in the woods during 
hunting season!

     sincerely,
     Bryan Brown
