A bright eyed, shiny coated black lab patiently sits beside the soon-to-be-operator of an air boat trailering into the park. To my amazement, that dog is wearing hearing protection.  How cool.  Had I not seen it myself, I would not have given the otherwise seemingly inconsiderate, self-centered, air-boat driving, duck hunters credit to have thought of protecting the dogs.   I still bristle a bit whenever I hear the engines roar to life and slash across the marshlands but have to cut them (at least some of them) just a bit of slack for the Mutt Muff thing.
