We have one like Vivian, Snoopy, a five year old male Basset Hound. If Vivian is the dumbest dog in America, Snoopy should be the dumbest dog in Thailand (long distant soul mate, I suppose !) He sleeps most of the time and is afraid of cats. His nose and ears are main attcked targets by the cats. Anyway, he loves playing with kittens and are gentle to them.
