One of the small joys in life for me is to take a walk at sunrise with my trusty trail dog, Blue. It takes a commitment to get out there early and, to be honest, if Blue wasn't so eager to run at first light, I am not sure I would still be addicted to his routine. But I owe a great deal to that 30-pound mountain feist dog. Some would simply call him an Appalachian brown dog, or a mutt, which he is, but whatever you call him, he has improved my daily routine.
