"Willow"

'Willow' is a Plot-Terrier mix and a Service Dog trained to sense and warn his master of potential problems with blood sugar levels, amazing. She is the best behaving dog I have ever encountered on the trail, never barking, staying seated and always attentive of his master's movements while just sitting and generally following  "M80" (trail name) with his head and eyes.
  For those interested The Plot Hound is arguably the most celebrated bear hunting dog anywhere and was  bred (developed) on Plot Mountain (named after the Plot Hound's breeder) near the Smoky Mountain area.
