hunting companion
Field sport sidekick
A hunting companion is a person or animal that accompanies someone on hunts.
For people, it suggests a trusted partner who shares the pursuit: He's been my hunting companion for twenty years.
More often the term describes dogs bred or trained to assist hunters—pointers, retrievers, hounds—valued for their skill and loyalty in the field.
