You want to give him a fitting good-bye. Together, you shared many hours, beautiful sunrises and sunsets and a lot of great stories with your dog. And, losing him/her is hard. When our dear friend, Terry Huff, lost Danny Boy, he struggled to find a fitting final salute for his beloved dog. That's how The Departing Shot was born. All of us here at The Departing Shot knew that someday, when the time came, we would want to return our hunting dogs to the fields they loved. And, we wanted a memento to keep at home to remind us of the trails we traveled together. Today, The Departing Shot packages dog ashes in shotgun shells so that you can conduct your own Memorial Salute in honor of your dog. We also provide shell boxes and shotgun shell-shaped urns so you may keep the remainder of the ashes as a memorial to your friend of the field. "A dog is the onl)' thing on ealth that loves you more than he loves himself. " - Josh Billings 2
