My mom and stepdad have a basset named Fred and that dog is like a rock star. Every where they go, people are always hugging on him, kissing him. It’s insane. My 2 year old loves to use him as a pillow and she loves to hear him bark. Makes her giggle hysterically.
They are great dogs and big attention getters because everyone has HEARD of them, but few people actually have seen or petted them. Kind of like ‘Bigfoot,’ LOL!
My Rufus creates quite the stir when Husband brings him for a romp in the Nursery Yard where I work. Everyone loves him up, too. :)
