For this cover, we knew we wanted to feature a squirrel dog. Originally, our hope was to feature Burley (pg 34) a dog ever so deserving of a cover, but try as we might the dimensions of the photo wouldn't fit. Then came along this story by Larry Case and this great photo of a Mt. Cur at the Squirrel Master Classic. We love that it feels like you are there with them!
