[NAGDU] Your Favorite Dog

[Tracy Carcione]

We were walking.  We had to cross Jericho Turnpike to get from the train to
my apartment.  It's not a highway there, but it's a wide street, and can be
busy.  I couldn't really judge the light, because the traffic was light, so
I took my best guess and I was wrong.  If it hadn't been such bad weather,
the driver might have stopped in time.  Lucky tried to tell me when he
thought we should cross, but I'll never know if he was right.
It was very awful.  Sorry to bring such a downer to what should be a
cheerful topic.
Tracy

Tracey,

That is awful!  I had never heard that story.  Were you in a car, or
walking?  That had to be heart breaking!

My favorite dog was Lucky, a yellow lab from GDB.  We clicked from the first
minute in a way I've never had happen since.  He could cope with any
situation.  He was tough enough to deal easily with a big city, but he was
very easy to correct, and he seldom needed correction.  He was fun to be
with, joyful and playful, but not given to mischief like jumping on counters
or chewing what he shouldn't.  We were only together a year and a half, when
he was killed when we were hit by a car, trying to get home during an ice
storm.  It breaks my heart still.

Good morning,
I love to hear our stories about our dogs. So I have some questions. I will
preface it by saying that once while I was training, probably with my first
dog, my instructor said that he believed everyone had a favorite dog, and
this would be true even if you truly love working with each of them. So tell
me:
Who was your favorite dog and why? This would include some of the little
things that made his work so good.
Did you train that dog? If not, from which school did it come?
How long did you have her?
Thank you.
