More: Murphy passed away suddenly and unexpectedly I’m the fall and we’d love to honor him on the cover of Orvis. He was a gentle giant from Vermont, who used his wisdom on all our other younger family pups. Murphy was born with a heart condition, he wasn’t supposed to live passed 1, but with a lot of love and a lot of early age vet appointments he lived a great life outdoors in Burlington Vermont.
