## Caption

Otto was more than a good dog.⁠
⁠
The German wirehaired pointer made a name for himself hunting invasive species in the tangled canals and swamps of South Florida, tracking down iguanas and pythons with acrobatic agility and serious heart. As the right-hand dog of Mike Kimmel — better known as the Python Cowboy — Otto became a fixture on Kimmel’s YouTube and Instagram pages, and a social-media star in his own right. But after years of sniffing out snake dens and chasing ornery reptiles through the underbrush, Otto was hit by a car and killed during a hunt on July 5.⁠
