Poor Caesar!
I guess the moral of this story is never bring an Alpaca to a Bear fight. :(
Speaking of which: Bear Camp in northern Wisconsin is going well. They’ve harvested a half-dozen of medium to large Black Bear so far.
Two of our dogs got ‘swatted’ on one hunt, but no internal injuries and no stitches needed; just some drag marks from claws. (Bragging rights!) An application of penicillin and two days of rest and Taylor (Walker Dog) and Oneida (Plott) were ready to hit it again this morning.
‘My’ Plott Hound is doing really well. So proud of my boy. :)
Beau doesn’t have a tag this season; he got the biggest Black Bear in WI in 2016, so he and our dogs are ‘assists’ on other hunts. No exciting celebrities this year. In previous years they’ve hosted Wounded Warriors and two ill boys from Make-A-Wish, which amazed me that their dying wish would be to shoot a bear, but you only have one life, sometimes WAY too short, and they were obviously raised right. ;)
They've learned quickly to make it count.
Actually the bear broke in, the zoo needs to better protect their Alpaca. Zoos, today the animals are breaking in. Sometimes, Gaza and Paris in the Franco Prussian war, the humans eat them. Nazi officers went "hunting" with the animals in the Warsaw zoo.
Glad your dogs did well and are healthy, with storied to tell.
