As Richie writes, we are undercover for the next few days.
A lady called Denise has a family of the Texas blue dogs living wild on her property and she has managed to film them on a number of occasions. One of the pieces of daytime film is included on the latest episode of On The Track.
At the moment I am sitting in a motel room just north of Houston and when I have finished my emails, and the party have breakfasted, we shall be off to the place where Denise lives. I do not want to appear to be over-dramatic here by referring to secrecy and 'undisclosed locations' but there is a VERY real danger that someone will shoot them if security is not maintained.
Although there is a hell of a lot of Texas culture that I admire greatly and some which indeed puts British culture in the shade, we are now in a place where trophy hunting is a way of life. There are taxidermists everywhere. And what better trophy than an animal that isn't supposed to exist?

I wouldn't even say it was in Texas.
ReplyDeleteI would say I went somewhere in the states of Texas, Arkansas, or Louisiana to look for hairless dogs.
