dogs
The domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris or Canis familiaris) is a member of the genus Canis (canines), which forms part of the wolf-like canids, and is the most widely abundant terrestrial carnivore. The dog and the extant gray wolf are sister taxa as modern wolves are not closely related to the wolves that were first domesticated, which implies that the direct ancestor of the dog is extinct. The dog is the first species to be domesticated and has been selectively bred over millennia for various behaviors, sensory capabilities, and physical attributes.
Their long association with humans has led dogs to be uniquely attuned to human behavior and they are able to thrive on a starch-rich diet that would be inadequate for other canid species. New research seems to show that dogs have mutations to equivalent genetic regions in humans where changes are known to trigger high sociability and somewhat reduced intelligence. Dogs vary widely in shape, size and colors. Dogs perform many roles for people, such as hunting, herding, pulling loads, protection, assisting police and military, companionship and, more recently, aiding handicapped individuals and therapeutic roles. This influence on human society has given them the sobriquet "man's best friend".

My wife and I are looking to get out of town soon and take a road trip with our half Border and half Blue Heeler. The dog will panic if left alone in a hotel room, but we'd like to get some shooting in. Not a bunch, just want to take advantage of the opportunity.
I'm looking for ways to...
I know this isn't "Northwest Hunting" but I found this story strange and wondered if it was really a thing in the UK and if they are hunted there.....

Have usually hiked with 6 shot 357 6 or 8" barrel while hiking in wilderness areas with my two dogs, Airedale and Standard Schnauzer, both dogs armed with bear bells; but recent news of people encounters with packs of wolves; I am rethinking of switching to high capacity 9mm or 40 caliber...
Demolition Ranch is probably in my top 5 of gun-related YT channels. Matt has a lot of fun doing what he does and gets a hold of some really fun guns. But, did you know that Matt is a veterinarian who owns his own vet clinic? He's really good with the animals, and if you're an animal lover, you...
