style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>What is
“Bassets In Hats”? “Bassets in Hats” celebrates
the Basset Hound breed and the many “jobs” they hold in our
lives. In the Basset world we have a saying that we are just the slaves
to these awesome hounds and that is so true. The Bassets give back to
their “slaves” much more than they will ever know. Whether
the job is to clean up the kitchen floor of any crumbs, beg for treats, watch
over you, steal your heart, make you smile, come to your rescue, wag their tail
and say AROOOOOO the Basset Hound is always there for you. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span
style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>“Bassets in
Hats” spotlights Susan Schmitz’s talent as a dog photographer along
with her creativity. Susan Schmitz has a great talent behind the camera,
editing in photo shop and coming up with some great ideas such as this awesome
book. You will love the way Susan has captured the Basset Hounds as they
wear the different hats representing their jobs in our lives. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span
style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'> “Bassets
in Hats” is co-authored by AZBHR and features many of the Bassets
rescued or owned by our volunteers, foster homes and supporters who have helped
Arizona Basset Hound Rescue save over 1,400 dogs since 1998. Without the
financial support and dedication of our foster homes and volunteers our rescue
wouldn’t exist. Susan has been an awesome volunteer and supporter
donating her time and talent of photography over the past three years and for
that all the Bassets say a big AROOOOOOO to YOU!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
