The most difficult part of dog ownership? Saying goodbye.

Chief, a 2-year-old GSP, was called home to his loving creator in early February after a tragic accident with a vehicle. 

With his undocked tail and bird crazy personality, Chief ignited a passion for the uplands in his owners, Nick and Kati Arens, who also learned the deeper meaning of affection from their pup.

​"A loving and gentle dog, his favorite days were spent chasing upland birds throughout the Midwest. His passing has left a gaping hole in the lives of his family, and he will be forever missed. We love you so much little buddy." ~Nick & Kati Arens
