He may be best known as the Hush Puppy dog, but the Basset Hound is much more than an advertising icon.
With his placid personality and short-statured yet noble appearance, the Basset Hound is a popular family companion, as well as a slow-paced but keen hunting dog.

If we want to pay back the favor and give them the best life possible, these 20 important reminders should serve you well as awesome Basset Hound owners. The last one (#20) brought me to tears…
