He wasn't a basset, but having him in my life led me to the rescue centre where I adopted Rolph.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1483867739311_3164">I used to walk Henry for his elderly owner and foster him when she went to hospital for an amazing charity called the Cinnamon Trust.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1483867739311_3164">Sadly his owner eventually had to go into a nursing home and Henry came to me, but Rolph was blindly jealous and made his life an absolute misery. Henry was eventually adopted by my XH and lived a full, happy, life along with many resident and fostered bassets. </div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1483867739311_3164">He was a very strange cross between a corgi and a German shepherd and looked like a corgi on steroids with a shepherd's snout.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1483867739311_3164" dir="ltr">He was also loyal to his last bone, loving, very smart and anxious to please. I visited him to say goodbye before he headed off with his dad for his last road trip, aged, we think, 18.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1483867739311_3164" dir="ltr">Farewell old friend, I hope I'll see you at the bridge for long walks and sausages.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1483867739311_3164" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1483867739311_3164" dir="ltr">A very sad Sally, with Rolph and Clara, UK</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1483867739311_3164"><br></div></div></body></html>
