I had a wonderful dog named FRED... loved that beast... German Shorthair.
Fred came to my house in New Mexico, and refused to leave... brutish fiend!
Freddie died of a heart failure about a year+ ago, fifty yards from my farm house, took me five days to find his rotted corpse in the heat... he was afraid I was gonna leave him... cuz I had ta go to work without him that day...
