Bassett the Beagle

As all of you know I lost my dog brutus 2 months 8 days and 5 hours ago. I still miss him very much. A couple weeks ago a man approached me asked if the dog that was following him was mine? I told him no, he said the dog was a stray and that he needed food and water, well if anyone knows me they know I am a sucker when it comes to dogs of course brought the beagle in my home and fed him and gave him water. I even let him spend the night with us for the next two nights. Then I had to make a difficult decsion to take him to animal control for his owners to claim him. The beagle stayed in the animal shelter for a week and a half. It was killing me to have him in that dreadful place so I emailed a local beagle rescue in maryland and they were able to help me. Today they pulled the beagle from the shelter and he is being fostered at my home until they can place him in a good home. It is a wonderful ending to a sad story. He is very good with my son, basically he is a couch potato but he will be getting exercise with me. I named him bassett because when i first saw him I thought he was a bassett hound because he was way too fat to be a beagle. But he is a beagle and a happy one. :) See the pics
