A Dog's Life: CRACKER

Full Name: ROUGH RUN'S BIG GAME CRACKER
Breed:  Albert Black-and-Tan
Age:  9 years old in November
The Scoop:  Son of the legendary hound "Three Time Albert" and the brother of Ghost.  Excellent pedigree but getting a touch old.  Always ready to jump in the dog box.  Cracker and the up-and-coming Mingo are mating this spring for a super-litter.

The Story:  When Jeff first got Cracker, the pack went training on Saturday night and the dogs were in the forest late.  Way, way too late, the signal comes in at 11:00pm that Cracker has a bear treed.  It was too late and too far, so goes back on Sunday but the signal is gone and there is no sign of Cracker.  On Monday night, Jeff goes back into the forest and finally gets a signal.  There sits Cracker at the bottom of the tree staring up at a black bear, three days later and still on watch!
