Tell voters something fun or interesting about the dog in the photo. Is this a SSLR dog? If so, how long has he or she been a part of your family? What’s the story behind the photo?
This is our sweet Hunter and he is 12yrs old! Born on the day my husband and I got engaged and brought into our home as a wedding present to each other this sweet boy has brought us so much happiness! In his youth he loved to swim, made an excellent bird dog and would ride on the back of the 4wheeler any chance he had. Nearly 3 years ago he was diagnosed as having diabetes and has since taken insulin shots twice a day and almost completely lost his eyesight to cataracts. None of this has taken away though, the sweet nature and loving heart of this sweet soul. We know he won't be here forever but sure wish he could be! Nevertheless , we still enjoy his big bark and wet nose and a wagging tail when he feels good...and when he's feeling really good he even brings out his old tennis ball...💗
