Back in 2013 I lost my lead dog and needed another quickly. The red dog in the front of the mule I was told was a Perry dog. I bought him from a member on here who had actually been down to Lloyd’s place and hunted with him personally. I was told he was a cow dog turned hog dog and had been on George Strait‘s ranch at one time. Anyways I knew the guy and he is my friend to this day so I trusted him that he was a good dog. He had a good handle, cast pretty well and had no problem being independent. We got on a group of hogs up by the red river on a big place and he took off on his own. Was probably gone for about a half hour when we started toward him he was coming back to us. Looked fine, had a small cut on his shoulder. The next morning I noticed he did not eat and his head was swollen. I thought snakebite, did some investigation and did not find anything. Found a blood clot in the roof of his mouth. I had the vet come to the house and X-ray his head to make sure he didn’t have a fractured skull or broken jaw. Nothing. Kind of a weird deal at that point. Then I noticed a small piece of wood in his water dish. Took him back over to her and he had a small stick lodged in the very back of his mouth where his jaw connected to the scull. Guess the X-ray didn’t show it because it was wood. We put him out and went to work - got it dug out you could stick your pinky in that hole. It was a freak deal and he died later that night just did not come out of the anesthesia, was too weak.
