Hi.
This is my very special friend, Rupert. My wife and I found him at
the dog pound eight years ago, and he has not left my side since. I love him
so very much, and I know he loves me too. As I frequently tell him, he
is the most handsome, kind, loyal, interesting and amusing person I have
ever met (apart from my wife, of course). His head is as big as a seal,
and he has shoulders to match, so on first sight, he does look like the
beast from Hades, but in fact he's as gentle as the day is long (unless
you are a horse, jeep, German Shepherd, cat or squirrel, I'm afraid).
Rupert likes nothing better than to come fly fishing with me. He does
doggy things on the bank while I fish, and gets very excited when I
manage to catch a trout. Jumps in, thrashes around, sniffs the fish, and
gives it a lick before deciding that sausages do taste better. Last
summer, in the Eastern Sierras, I was waist deep in my favorite river,
when I looked round and found that he had climbed up on a rock in the
middle of the river that was just submerged a few inches under the
water. I took this photo to remember that moment.
