Day 79, Missoula Rabble, Mackenzie

Missoula Rabble, Mackenzie, 30, saved Canner's life. Canner was a severely neglected horse, terrified of anything people, and was considered a "lost cause." Mackenzie adopted Canner before he could be put down and has worked with him for a few years now. "He can still get antsy, but he's nowhere near where he used to be," he said. "I can chase him around and it isn't the end of the world." Mackenzie is a dog trainer and a certified poet. He has an interesting view on how poetry and animal training can overlap. Almost so brilliant I hate paraphrasing it. But I will try. He said a good poem can make him change how he sees something he's already seen before. He said you can do that for an animal, too. All said, this guy is a very passionate person. He really cares for these animals. Check out the live web cam at the Dunrovin Ranch to watch Mackenzie work with the animals. You'll surely be impressed.
