[Leica] At eye level with dogs

[ricc at mindspring.com (Ric Carter)]

Typical Basset, love, affection and absolutely NO respect.

My suspicion is that most rescue bassets never got deserted, but just  
left home, picked up interesting offers along the way, and didn't  
bother to go back;^)

A long-time but now reformed Basset owner,
Ric Carter
