More: Contrary to the photo caption, Gunner is a loyal member of our pack! He loves to play fetch with anything that is thrown, swim, and play with friends at the dog park. His favorite snacks are cheese and lunchmeat, and will come to say hello if he hears the packages of either one being opened. His nose is so strong that when we go camping and I throw a stick into the woods in pitch black conditions, he can find and bring back the same stick. We are simultaneously each other's protector, fellow adventurer, and best friend!
