I don’t know how I got so lucky, but my puppy has discovered a particular penchant that has come in extremely handy on a horse farm. He loves to find both lost shoes, and wayward bell-boots when I ride through turnout paddocks. Yesterday he found two shoes AND two bell-boots! This should be a marketable skill, excuse me while I try to find a way to rent my dog out by the hour.
