We're not talking about your usual nightcrawler or the lone pub enthusiast—no, we're looking at something far more primal, more connected to the earth and sky: the Redbone Coonhound. The Nighttime Tracker A burst of russet against the burgeoning shadows, this dog isn't just man's best friend but a tracker of the night, bred with the persistence of a detective in a hardboiled thriller.
