Good bye Smoke

After consultation with our vet, we had Smoke the Bloodhound euthanized to prevent needless suffering. Ole Smoke was a good one and will be missed. He was used to find lost children, old folks than had wondered off, escaped prisoners and fleeing felons. In my mind, his most memorable track was of an armed robber. After the suspect had fired a couple of shots he ran into a really wet area. Smoke tracked him about 1 and 1/2 mile before he literally bumped into a tree. It was dark, so the helo flew over the tree and hit it with the midnight sun. There about 30 feet up in the tree was the suspect. Ole Smoke could track a popcorn fart in a blizzard. He'll be missed.
