[Dailydrool] need advice

[Tammy Jo Wilke]

I have  friend who has a basset about 1 or 2 yrs old.. we don't know how 
long the basset has been on the streets fending for him/her self.. but 
whenever my friend takes her baby for a walk.. the basset just wants to keep 
going and going, wants to play with other dogs, can not go off leash.. bolts 
from her.. and if her basset youngen doesn't get his/her own way... flat 
bassets and blows air out of his/her huffers (sides of the mouth).. and acts 
like he/she is dying.. and my friend can't get him/her up again.. and people 
gather around thinking the basset is ill or she is meaning mean to her 
furbaby..  she takes plenty of water and treats.. but he/she gets a drink or 
takes a treat and right back down to flat basset.

what advice can I give her???  she can't lift and carry her basset home..

any help???
