True story:
There is a man who lived in Michigan and bought a brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee. He wanted to show it off to a buddy of his so he invited his buddy to go duck hunting with him.
They loaded up the Jeep with all they would need for 3-4 days in the woods hunting, including this guy's Labrador.
So they go off driving, then off-roading to get to the hunting site which was a good sized lake in the Upper Pennsula of Michigan.
It's Michigan. It's winter. The lake is frozen over. So...you guessed it, they drove out to the middle of the lake. No problem.
Well, to go duck hunting, the ducks have to come into land, otherwise they are too high to shoot. Ducks only come in to water, not ice.
To accomplish the task of "opening up" the water, the guy brought along some dynamite with 40 second fuses. You can't just get a saw and cut a hole, you need lots of open water. Did I mention that alcohol was involved?
Well, they got out and decided that "over there" would be a good place to break up the ice. This guy had a couple of brain cells firing, and he thought, that if he walked over there, lit the fuse and tried to run away, he might not make it far enough away. Ice is slippery after all, right?
So he had the bright idea to light the fuse and throw the dynamite. Which he did. Not thinking about his prize Labrador retreiver who had been cooped up in the Jeep for the last 4 hours.
The man threw the dynamite.
The dog took off like a shot.
The two guys started yelling at the dog.
The dog, thinking it is getting a lot of attention, starts to run faster.
The dog gets to the dynamite at the same time that it hits the ice.
The dog starts running back to the two guys.
This guy's buddy says "I'm not dying out here" and grabs the shotgun.
The buddy shoots at the dog.
The gun is loaded with #2 buckshot and does not even slow the dog down.
The buddy shoots the dog again.
Now the dog is scared. What will a scared dog do?
Yup, hide.
Where is a dog going to hide out on the middle of a frozen lake?
Yup, under the Jeep.
Well, the two guys split and run away from the Jeep.
The 40 second fuse runs out.
The dog goes to doggy heaven.
The Jeep sinks to the bottom of the lake.
It takes the rest of the day and all night for these two guys to hike back to civilization.
The Jeep owner calls his insurance company and tells them the whole story. Unabridged.
The insurance company denies the claim stating that illegal use of explosives is too close to an "intentional act" and refuses to pay for the Jeep.
This guy had not even made the first payment.
I told this story to a friend of mine that is a big hunter. He got all teary eyed after the story and I asked him if he was OK.
He said "Yeah,....but....good hunting dogs are hard to find!"
