	Our first Brittany--God rest his furry soul--would often bring
various
forms of wild life from the field that was once next to our house.  They
were mostly garter snakes, mice, and plover chicks which he would kill
before bring them to one of us.  The one thing he would bring in that he
wouldn't kill were baby rabbits.  He carried them about in his mouth
alive and was reluctant to give them up.
