Don’t reckon it’s ever a good time to loose a dog but ruby was given to my son by a very good friend few years back . We all joined up for a coon hunt tonight and ruby tried to cross road before I could get to her. Well it ended worse way possible my son was with me and learned the ugly side of hunting dogs . She really got him hooked on squirrel hunting and will be missed for sure. It’s a risk we all take every time we cut one loose .
