LT Memorial Trail #32: Paracelsus Mystery Cache

On April 8, 2019, Paracelsus made the journey to where the puzzles are all solved, you never get sniped on an FTF attempt, and the caches are always in place with the perfect swag for every finder.

You must learn a little about this fallen cacher in order to locate the cache container.

Paracelsus (aka RedDog, Bill, and various other nicknames) loved numbers and lateral thinking. He authored numerous mystery caches that bedeviled members of the River City Geocaching & Dining Society (RCGDS) and cachers from more distant lands. He served in the US Air Force from 1971 to 1980, including time as a Navigator during the Viet Nam conflict. He loved riding his Harley and rode with the Sacramento HOG chapter. For this puzzle: Paracelsus was very fond of a certain breed of animal, one word in seven letters. What is it? (No need to modify your answer with any nationality.)
