[Dailydrool] Cute basset story

[Molly Thompson]

  Hi everyone,
I am mostly a lurker, but I had to pass along this story.
My husband and I stopped at the local humane society last week while 
waiting for my inlaws flight to arrive.  We made it past all the dogs 
(barely) and were about to head out the door when a woman came walking 
in with a small basset in tow.  My husband groaned.  Of course I went 
running over to see the basset and the woman loudly announced the she 
was returning the dog because "he wasn't working out."  The little 
basset was really shy, but I did give him an ear rub and tried to ask 
the lady what was wrong with him. She replied gruffly  again the he 
wasn't working out.
My husband dragged me away.
I checked back on Saturday and found out the "Henry" had been adopted by 
someone else.  I asked why the first lady returned him and staff person 
told me that the woman wanted a guard dog! and "Henry wasn't the right 
dog!"  I laughed and so did the staff person.   I hope little Henry went 
to a much more basset friendly home.  He looked like all he would do to 
an intruder is ask for a belly rub.
