More: Cuda was my best friend and a true adventure dog. Cuda loved hiking in the Southern Oregon mountains, swimming in many a lake, river, and Pacific Ocean. He traveled cross country with me many times and got to experience the wilderness of America in 23 states, including Yellowstone, the Great Salt Lake, Samuel H Boardman State Park, and many more. Waterfalls were his absolute favorite, he is pictured here at 11 years old, at Pearsony Falls in Prospect, Oregon. Cuda recently passed, in October 2021. He was 13.
