In his words:
He lived his life in the wilds of Montana. He roamed the forests, tracking every beastie there was. He ran beside snowmobiles in -20 weather. He plowed thru feet of snow. He was the best companion a man could ask for. And he loved every minute of it. He was the best boy there ever was. RIP Chewy
He lived his life in the wilds of Montana.
