Oh my gosh, Murphy, you are gorgeous! What a beautiful Basset Hound you are with those long, LOOOOONG ears and those big soulful eyes, and what a great Halloween costume that is! And you have the most delightful personality. You are only five months old, a growing boy. You're full of energy and a fast learner. You love hiking in the mountains with your dear person each day. Afterwards you have some snuggle time together on the couch. You try to be friendly with kitty housemate Hootie, but he doesn't like you. We hope you will be the best of friends before long! You all love each other very much, don't you (even Hootie, I'm sure). What a wonderful love-filled home you share!

Congratulations, darling Murphy, on being chosen today's Dog of the Day! We hope you and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats.
