More: Cider is a true gentleman. He is the head of our pack and is the sweetest, most gentle boy around. He sleeps on our bed and loves to snuggle. In his prime, he was an incredible bird dog, always eager for the hunt. He was an intense, pointing fool, and a beautiful site to behold. Now in his waning years, he is happy to patrol the yard pointing song birds and keeping the squirrels at bay.
