Hunter and the pheasant

Less than a 1/2 hour ago, Chris started yelling "there is a pheasant in the yard!!!" So, of course I grab the camera and go running. We took a few pictures of him outside the side of the house, besides Chris' office. Then the pheasant flew up to the top of the fence. We thought he would go into the neighbors yard, but the poor bird went in ours. Little did he know that HUNTER was sleeping out there!! Chris and I both ran into the kitchen to watch to see what would happen. As Hunter lay sleeping in the shade, the pheasant made his way through the landscaping, across the yard, and even close to Hunter!! And, what does our hunting dog do?!?! NOTHING but sleep!!! We even ran up to the upstairs bedroom to watch to see what would happen (and take pictures) and Hunter just stayed there. Then Chris opened up the window, told Hunter to "get the bird" and Hunter sat up, but that was all. That is one lucky pheasant!!! He walked most of the way to the back of the yard with Hunter in the yard with him. We might have to have Hunter checked out by the vet again!!
