K-9 Dynamo adds joy to life, let alone camping. I'd give her 5 stars if she didn't steal the sleeping bag. I have forgiven her for the missing provisions.
Pros
- Reliable pull on any ascent.
- Extra warmth on cold nights; includes a special umami aroma.
- Helps you see hidden wildlife—as they're running away.
- Guaranteed to keep a smile on your face.
Cons
- May steal more of your sleeping bag than you want to share.
- May display guilty look when questioned about missing provisions.

If your reasons for camping include regaining peace of mind, capturing joie de vivre and resetting priorities in your life, K-9 Dynamo helps fulfill all those goals. Simply attach her/him to your wrist and the immediate pull will have you forgetting all the societal trappings you left at home. Any ascent with a scent becomes surmountable, while you may have to use special words to slow your descent. Just relax and imagine you're an anchor being dragged around the woods.
Extraordinary sensors will find tracks, scat and scents that you alone might have missed (just make sure the K-9 Dynamo leaves the scat in situ). And the early warning system barks an alert so you can observe wildlife as it runs away.
On cold nights, K-9 Dynamo will share your sleeping bag, adding warmth and aroma therapy to your slumber. Just be prepared to wake up early and uncovered; K-9 Dynamo will claim your sleeping bag. At this point, put on extra sweater as yelling, cajoling, offering treats or pretending something interesting is moving outside the tent will not recover your sleeping bag. Rest assured, this sacrifice will ensure K-9 Dynamo is fully rested, refreshed and ready to pull you even harder than yesterday.
The comradery and antics will improve your attitude, increase your laughter, refresh your soul, and make you wonder how you ever enjoyed camping without K-9 Dynamo.

Blaze was a lurcher; whippet X labrador, an excellent hunting companion for birds and small game, usually feeding herself, providing you skinned it for her. No slouch at fishing either having caught a nice brown trout of about 4 lb all on her own, also acting as a landing net when required.
Loved camping and being a country dog. Campfires and bonfires were just for her to stretch out and warm her tummy. Tents were for sissies! Just curl up on a nice tussock (New Zealand mountain grass) in fine weather or underneath in wet and rain.
At 6 years of age, she had Parvo virus and died in my arms at home.
Blaze RIP.
