<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Baguette / Grace did her tour of the plaza at
Rockefeller Center yesterday and got pets from lots of folks. Matt Lauer
and Meredith Vieira were very nice and both obviously like dogs. Abigail
Breslin did a great interview and appeared very relaxed (I think it was the
calming effect of a Basset Hound). This whole experience has been really
neat for all of us and hopefully in some way beyond the appearance fees donated
to Tri-State Basset Hound Rescue it helps the entire Basset Hound rescue
community. While I have not yet seen the movie the character of Grace is
an old female abandoned hound that Kit 'rescues'. There was some
discussion last week of using a Basset puppy in these publicity appearances and
thankfully the producers chose to stick to the original character. I have
some pictures uploaded to Photo Bucket from the Today Show and a link to part of
the Today video with her in it.</FONT></DIV>
