THE PASSING OF A FINE HARE HOUND June 6, 2020

TRIBUTE TO AREO.

It is with sorrow and sadness I undertake the difficult task of announcing the passing of Big Woods Hare Hunters of the Allegheny hare hound, Aero.

Aero suffered kidney failure due to complications from Lyme disease and was euthanized June 6, 2020 at the offices of North Fork Veterinary Clinic. Aero was buried at a place of honor high on the Allegheny Plateau.    

Aero, (Little Toby Creek Aeropostale Aero) was whelped July 2012 at Little Toby Creek Kennels and was named by, granddaughter, Alayna Murray. Aero’s dam was Iron Mountain Tia and she was sired by Branko’s High Plateau Duggan. Aero’s grandfather was two time National and Field Champion Branko’s One Tuff Hombre. Aero is survived by her sire and several littermates. Aero was proceeded in death by her mother and a littermate named Shadow.

Aero was a single-minded hare and rabbit hound. Her life was devoted to chasing snowshoe hare and cottontail rabbits. Aero gave it her best every time she went to the field. Aero hunted the western mountains of Maine on many occasions.

The greatest success of Aero’s short life was whelping a litter of very fine and widely renowned beagles. Her legacy will live on through her linage.

We will miss her voice in the pack; however, we fully appreciate she is not suffering and has joined that phantom pack of beagles which sings across the Allegheny on many moonlit nights.
