Tyler could not catch
the nimble AKC German Shorthair Pointer "Shooter"
that lived at the Nissen Dairy.
Shooter was Tyler's best dog friend. He taught the
young German Shepherd how to play fight, how to dog
wrestle, and how to chase another dog. Tyler learned
many moves and advanced tricks from him. Rusty said
it was like gym class for acrobatics, a sort of
martial arts training for canines. Shooter was a
good teacher.

|
"Run Tyler!
Run!" Rusty encouraged.
|
|
"WOW!"
Rusty said.
"Shooter can fly through the air! He's jet
powered!"
|
|
"Go Shooter!
GO!"
Rusty cheered him on.
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Whoa!
Low to the
ground skidding turn!"

Using a tree to block
your opponent

|
Time out to slurp the
irrigation pipe leak
fresh
cold water mixed with dirt making a delicious mud
drink.
|
|
Slurp! Slurp!
|
|
Tyler's muddy tongue showed how much he loved the
cold, earthy irrigation water. Sort of like chocolate
soda to a dog.
|
|
Shooter was having
lots of fun.
|
|
Shooter liked to
mark.
A lot.
|
|
Tyler had endurance
and skill. He couldn't catch his pal so he had to cut Shooter
off in the turns to tackle him.
