“So God made a Hound.
God said I need someone brave enough to fight the hurricane force of a bear that won't tree, so God made a Hound.
God said I need someone with feet tough enough to run miles in the snow, ice, rocks, and hot sand, so God made a Hound.
God said I need someone with a nose able to smell it's quarry while driving down the road, so God made a Hound.
God said I need a companion for the hunter with the desire to wander into the unknown and make it home safe, so God made a Hound.
God said I need someone with the grit to bay bears, hogs, c***s, lions, bobcats, coyotes, deer, leopards, and all other beasts of tooth and claw, yet gentle enough to sleep at the foot of the bed, so God made a Hound.
God said I need someone with the tenacity to lead the pack into a battle of unknown, so God made a Hound.
God said I need someone who will sit and shake and play ball with its handler and provide a meal for the pack and owner in the same day, so God made a Hound.
God said, with a tear in his eye, I need a best friend, for every hunter I created, someone who will walk many miles next to them and share a life many will never know. He said I need someone who will be loyal and loving no matter what the day brought to them, someone who when the time comes, will continue to hunt on in heaven, so God Made A Hound.”
