The One That Got Away

River 1

Every fisherdog has the story of the fish that got away.

QNTE 2

Of course, it would never have gotten away from me if the hu-dad had not insisted on this blasted leash.

QNTE 3

I would have been in the river and with a fish dinner.

QNTE IV

Not watching it swim away.

    I really think you could have gotten the fish. It would have been like you were a grizzly bear, and could catch fish in your mouth as they jump out of the water. Darn humans! Always ruining the fun.
