Times Spent Outdoors: Priceless!

On The Cover November 2022

Dogs Are Our Partners

November is also a month to express our gratitude.

As John Anderson writes, dogs are a key to both hunting success and rewarding companionship. I second that as I have had the honor of living with dogs many years of my life and will always remember my first dog a little black English cocker spaniel - Sammy - who was an excellent hunter and my best friend growing up.

This article is featured because it is bird-hunting season, and the best luck for a hunter will be to go into the field with a good dog.

This is also the month when we take time to honor our veterans: on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. "Thank you for your service" will never be a cliche; it is a sincere expression of gratitude to those who have sacrificed so much for us. Please note the recognition that Arizona Game & Fish gives our Purple Heart recipients and our disabled veterans.

And, the friendship and assistance that dogs can offer veterans is recognized also in several sites that train them to work as service companions for vets: https://k9sforwarriors.org/, https://soldiersbestfriend.org, https://dogs4vets.org/, and https://azpowerpaws.org.

The bottom line: Thanksgiving is this month as well, and we truly have much to be thankful for.
