More: We reacued Finn from a shelter in Idaho when he was 8 months old. He was born on a farm where he was intended to be a working dog. He proved to have too much energy for the original owners and was given up. When we took him in he was skiddish and scared. Over time we earned his trust with long runs in the great plains of Wyoming. He has been our companion on backpacking trips in the snowy range mountains, weekend trips to the outer banks of North Carolina and on day explorations to the marshlands of Louisiana. An outing is now incomplete without his attendance. We are home in the outdoors together.
