Good afternoon Lady Duke! You know, I think you have the right idea, getting some comfortable snoozing in , it is so hot here today that's about all I want to do too! One of the very first dogs I remember meeting as a young child was a bloodhound, and ever since then the breed has had a special place in my heart, always putting a smile on my face and bringing remembrance of the hound that helped me fall forever in love with the canine world . He was young, like you, friendly and filled with exuberance to meet and play with youngsters. Yes I know you bloodhounds tend to have selective hearing at times, but you more than make up for it with your friendly nature, always brimming with affection and happiness! And boy do you ever bring new meaning to the phrase, "the nose knows!" Good for you, helping to find the lost kitties! I hope today you have an EXTRA special and fun-filled day today with lots of treats and plenty of attention. Congratulations Duke, on being our MOST deserving and lovable Dog of the Day!
