Hooch was so loving and so protective of us as well as our property. He had his own way of picking his toys. A 'rock' was his. He loved the water, chasing his wake and fetching sticks. He would follow David on his motorcycle everywhere, and when it came time to go for a ride all it took was these two words, "bye-bye". Packing for camping or hunting also was a sure sign. Words cannot explain how much I miss that dog. I'll always miss him as much as love him, says David. He's a one of a kind, my Hooch! Never in my life have I ever cared or loved an animal such as my best friend, Hooch. He was such an inspiration and such a part of our lives that I'm very emotionally lost without him. Just as he did the past 3 1/2 years, he will comfort us through fond memories and photos. He will hold a special place in our minds and in our hearts forever.
