As far as I'm concerned, my dog trains me about as much as I train him. I just can't help it; that's the way it always seems to go. So, my friend, over the course of my life, I have had many animal friends, both wild and domestic.

For thirty years, this weathered woodsman eked out a living on the Mississippi River, running a trapline, hiring out as a river guide, digging and selling roots and herbs, and eating the food he hunted and fished.
