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.
