Diogenes, do you know the origin of the word “cynic”?
:)
Does 'TheDuke'sGhost' know the origin of 'bad-ass movie cowboy'?
You could ask Snopes, but you'd be a poor speller.
By the way, Marco Lavoie's best friend has visited him in hospital, and has provided a more accurate timeline and detailed description of his trip.
He was armed; the troubles began about two months into the trip; he had injured his ankle; out of ammo; dog may have been close to death himself; when found, he was in a very treacherous area of the river; he was hallucinatory, barefoot, hypothermic, in 3 feet of snow and freezing temps.
It seems as though Marco is a bit of a loner, and cared more for the dog than most people. He wants to train any future dogs as search and rescue dogs.
Maybe being doglike is a good thing, eh?
