Hounds in Ohio
YEARS AGO, when I lived in Oklahoma, the person I pleasure hunted with owned a SUPER male TW that was finally stolen from his yard. The dog was traced, thru a lot of legwork, and conversations with dog jockeys, to Ohio. This man had a photo of his dog on a qualification certificate as a qualifier for national competition. He found his dog - actually saw it tied in the yard of a mayor in a small town. He had taken the local Sheriff with him so that he could retrieve his dog. The man agreed that the dog belonged to my friend after seeing the photo on the qualification certificate and stated that if he wanted him back he could pay $2,500, the amount the man had paid. The Sheriff stated that obviously the two of them had things "worked out" and he left. Two big burly men came forward in the man's yard - one took the dog away and the other stayed to prevent my friend from going after his dog. My friend had a minimum wage job and a family (two children & a wife) so he couldn't afford to pursue the situation, resulting in the loss of a family pet and his beloved hunting companion.
