God blessed us with dogs. I've had many over the years. I love how Gracie goes everywhere with you. I think that makes a big difference along with her sweet personality.😊
This was the most we have heard you talk! You made me laugh out loud when you said, "Everybody knows you can go see a litter of puppies and not get a puppy." I know it has never happened in my life! Great story, thank you.
What a wonderful story! Sometimes things are just meant to be... Whether it was fate, or God, something in the universe aligned for both of you... And created a friendship of epic proportion... What a beauty of a tale... Congratulations ... 👋😎👍🐾
It's amazing how things work out . Our dog was a rescue as a 8 week old puppy from a bad owner. She is a family member. She has us wrapped around her 🐾
Evening TMW Cory and Gracie 😊. I got goosebumps listening to you telling the story of how you two met. I believe everything happens for a reason. God and that couple knew it was meant to be for a lifelong relationship. Thank you for sharing your story. Proud of you and Gracie. Looking forward to seeing more videos of adventures, shed hunts and the wonders of Maine. Stay safe. God Bless you and Gracie 🙏✌❤😊
There is an amazing bond between a dog and their person. Sometimes it was just meant to be ❤️ thank you for your service and by the way, my brother is a Norwich graduate
Great story. Fyi. When I click on your videos I instantly click the like button and share with friends who may be interested. Gracie is super special. You're lucky to have her as she is lucky to have you. On 11/19/19 my dad passed away. On 12/19/19 my black lab Kodi passed away. On 1/19/19 I was blessed with a beautiful black lab puppy. I wasn't looking. I wasn't sure I was ready. I told my wife I missed Kodi badly and my wife's coworker had a friend with a litter. The last puppy of the litter and ready to go home now. My wife text me pictures of the puppy and I was pissed at first. Still grieving missing Kodi. But a hour later I was on the phone with the breeder. Lol. I've spent a lot of time with her the last 20 months. She has been such a blessing for me. ❤😊 and she loves antlers. 😉😊🦌🇺🇸
I had a black lab named Grace. She went everywhere with me. We spent many an hour wondering through the woods of Minnesota and Wisconsin. Like you the first time I looked in her eyes I knew that we were a team. She passed away 4 years ago, but remains part of me.
What a moving video and moving story Cory. It isn’t hard to see just how special Gracie is. And, it’s not hard to see the special bond between the two of you. Did you name her Gracie because of God’s grace? It would seem fitting because of the obvious relationship you have with Him! Anyone would be lucky to be called friend by you!
Oh my. You two were meant to find each other! Hold this special bond close & hold tight to the memories because they only come around once or twice in a lifetime! I know - I lost that once-in-a-lifetime special dog 6 years ago myself. And I don't regret a single damn day.
Howdy Cory- awesome story about Gracie. My yellow lab passed away a few years ago. He was the smartest dog I ever had. He was a perfect gentleman. Still haven’t gotten another dog yet. Take care and God bless you
This video could also be called; "How to drive Gracie crazy by holding a Peanut Butter cookie in your hand, while talking to a camera in the woods". :)
Thanks for sharing that beautiful story,even a pup Gracie felt you were a special person for, her... Dogs are in my heart I love them,when you lay in that box I felt she was sad,crying and looking at you ready to jump in the box with you, All the from Greece
Great story.All my dogs picked me. They are family. I am lucky to have them .Mans Best friend. ..30 yrs + Miss the ones that passed. We all have a Better day in the woods with our dogs.
Loved it. I lost my 12 year old lab on my birthday two years ago. I brought him to work at the firehouse every day with me for a long time. That dog knew what I was thinking before I did. Miss him dearly, they are special dogs and no doubt man's best friend.
We had two labs and I absolutely loved them. So loving, so easy to train, so smart. My hubby wasn't happy with our first as she chewed off the cable and propellers on his trolling motor, but other than that, both females were wonderful. Brought my slippers to me while waiting for me to come home from work each day. So, so many stories I could share. Your dog looks in wonderful health and she is so looking adoringly to you. Good luck.
Love to hear you talk about your precious Grace she is so beautifull she loves you with all her heart you can tell just like you love her thank you for your story named Grace
Awesome video my friend. It's crazy how fate works. Gracie is a beautiful dog. She is lucky to have you as her best friend. I don't like to use the term, master. Makes it sound like she is your slave. Nice thing about dog's is, they don't hold a grudge. They love you for who you are. Thanks for the video. God Bless.
Love your video We love labs. Just three weeks our lab who was 13 passed away.we had him since he was 8weeks old. Our dogs we have had were always labs you can not beat them . Once again love videos and Gracie.
This is awesome Abbey and Sonny B’s baby is famous! Daphne and Barb are in Pittsburg. I painted that room the pups are in, it was my sons nursery! Love this ❤️
When the shtf a Black Lab is high on the list for watchdog, early warning systems and burglar alarm! LOL. I've always had Golden's (except for 1 German) and in the woods a great companion. Gracie is a good girl!
I am so glad that you and Gracie came together. Dogs are one of God’s graces and I can only hope that someday God will give me my Emma, Maggie, and Bimbo back. Animals deserve to have friends with a heart like yours.
Great story of Gracie's history. Great dog for sure. Sure and my chocolate Marley would be pals. She likes camp time and big woods too. Tks for sharing 👍
You have a awesome 🐶 It reminded me of my brother boo boo who passed away this year just look like her very cute 🐶💛 God bless u guys hope to see more Amazing videos👍🏻
Thanks for sharing Gracie's story with us .. awesome dog! .. my daughter just bought a pure bread all black German Shepard as a pup this past Spring.. she is now 6 months old .. thanks for taking us along on your adventures.
Cory what a lovely episode, thank you for sharing Gracie's story. Dogs can be owned by many people, but they only imprint on one person they really trust and are true companions for life. You may not have realised that you needed a soulmate, but God did and he sent you Gracie as thanks for all the good deeds you've done. My rescue Staffordshire Bull Terrier is snoring in my earhole as I watch this and I wouldn't have it any other way 👍❤❤
My first lab was a Chocolate. Great dog. I got him when I was in my young 30’s, no kids yet. Lived on a salt marsh at the time, and did a ton of training with him. Great dog. I currently have a black lab, he’s a good boy too, and aims to please. He could easily be as well trained if my plate wasn’t so full, but he’s a great family dog, and I hope to train him to hunt sheds soon.
Thank you for sharing the story of how you and Gracie became a team. Animal friends are such a blessing I had two dogs growing up and loved each dearly. There's something about a dog. Hubs is EXTREMELY allergic to dogs and also allergic to cats. We have had a few cats live with us over the years-- first one Hubs let come in, which is how he found out he was a cat person, and subsequent ones found us. Meds help Hubs okay with cats, but are useless when it came to dogs. Sigh. So, I love other people's dogs, and smile when people tell me they have the best dogs. They are all correct. :)
Great to hear you were part of the National Guard, My Daughter is a Lieutenant Colonel in The Army National Guard here in Maine. She is now the first female Battalion Commander of the 133rd
That's an awesome story, truly understand that relationship. Mine was with Char, she was given to me and we had that same type of relationship. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the link! I could not agree more with everything you said about Gracie, Labs are incredible dogs! You are one lucky man! Good luck to you both!
the yellow lab is what we call sandringham thay are show dogs . the slimmer type is a gun dog we have different sizes depending on what type of shooting thay are used for i have had 3 dogs thay are so loyal yours looks brilliant ,
I need to say - you got the SECOND best dog in the world, because my black Lab Duncan is the best! He just turned 11, and we haven't spent a moment apart since I got him at 9 weeks. Labs are the kindest, funniest, sweetest and gentlest souls on the planet - Long may they run!
My German Shorthair passed away 13 years ago. Best friend and grouse “catcher” ever. It took me this long to start looking for another. Leaning toward a lab now that I met Gracie. She is special. PeaceY
When I was a boy we had a lab/Shepard mix named Jake. He was always an off leash dog. He and I went to check bait traps near a busy road one day . To give him his freedom but keep him safe I tied a long lead to his collar. I made the mistake of crossing thin ice wearing old loose waiters. I went through the ice, he ran to shore and hooked himself around a tree till I was able to climb to shore up the rope. My wife and I named our son after him .
Loved the story...I like how you said...everyone goes to look at puppies and can leave without getting one, right? I chuckled and thought "riiiiiight". I also like how the people just knew you needed to have Gracie ... she was your puppy...and how mom ruined her....chuckles....spoiled with love builds a good obedient dog. :)
Found your channel during lock down and found it again. Remember the first video when you stumbled upon Lenny Benoit "Legend ",. Love the story of "Gracie ", remarkable story I'm subbed! I got a black lab, "Gunner ", he's on my Wood Duck build video,
Nutter Butters! I knew there was a reason that I liked you. I have been trying to find a rescue but because of the COVID there are literally none available where I live in MA. People are home and decided to adopt pets. I wish I had a story like yours. Gracie is beautiful and Labs are great dogs.
God blessed us with dogs. I've had many over the years. I love how Gracie goes everywhere with you. I think that makes a big difference along with her sweet personality.😊
Yes! Thank you!
Once you’ve had a dog. You can never feel complete without one.
👍
That last close-up shot with Gracie's wink in the end is off the charts brilliant cinematography
...and the slow tail wag😂🥰
She’s amazing
Unreal!
Dogs have "the look". They can melt your heart or cheer you up. Forgiving and true unconditional love.
I had a redbone coon hound when I was 15. We loved each other. I'm 64 and I still miss him.
This was the most we have heard you talk! You made me laugh out loud when you said, "Everybody knows you can go see a litter of puppies and not get a puppy." I know it has never happened in my life! Great story, thank you.
😂
Yeah, me too! Didn't know if he was pulling my leg or not.
@@TheMaineWoods "Everybody knows you can go see a litter of puppies and not get a puppy." True that🤣🤣🤣 Thanks
Yeah for sure, I went to pick up a puppy ( Golden Retriever ) for my wife and came back with two, but having sisters are better than having one.
I totally agree....lol...everytime I saw puppies I got one....one time i bought 2!!!
Thank you for your service Cory. Your skill sets are amazing!
Dogs come into our lives often when we don't know we need them. But they do! So glad you have her, she is beautiful.
Who's a good girl? Gracie!
Love the shots of her with all of her finds, that wink she gives you at the end of the shot, yep I believe she’s a special talented girl too
Cory that is such a great story about you and Gracie. I too have a Lab and Duke has been by my side since May 12th 2013. I love him so much.
Thanks for sharing about Gracie...you’re a lucky human to have her!
What a wonderful story!
Sometimes things are just meant to be...
Whether it was fate, or God, something in the universe aligned for both of you...
And created a friendship of epic proportion...
What a beauty of a tale...
Congratulations ...
👋😎👍🐾
The tribute to Gracie at the end of this video will bring tears to your eyes. We keep watching the end over and over. What a dog!!
It's amazing how things work out . Our dog was a rescue as a 8 week old puppy from a bad owner. She is a family member. She has us wrapped around her 🐾

I love a good dog story. And that was one of the best.
And in Maine you don't have to worry about rattle snakes. Why I am looking to retire there.
Blessing...YES! That is the word. 11:43 you are so spot on.
Labs are special. Smart and loyal to their masters. Your lucky to have eachother. 🐕🏞👣

Sorry for your loss and thanks for the support, glad you got a good pup
I had to stop in to see your Gracie Girl Doggie again. She's just such a special girl.
I had a black lab named Grace. She went everywhere with me. We spent many an hour wondering through the woods of Minnesota and Wisconsin. Like you the first time I looked in her eyes I knew that we were a team. She passed away 4 years ago, but remains part of me.

She is so special!!!
You are such a wonderful Dad for Gracie.
She brings out the best in me

What a story and thank you for sharing.
Wowzer……..the closing shot with the shed piles and Gracie sitting on overwatch…….gave me chills. Great segment.
thanks for sharing this was excellent
