Fred Basset by Alex Graham for December 17, 2023

So true,and bassets use that sad face and big sad eyes to their advantage when trying for treats, and in your case, choc drops and sausage. Sometimes it works.

no cogs in store cannot really appl to you Fr

But it gets does get you so much attention, Fred……..

I wonder if that also happened to Columbo’s dog, every time he was left in the – well, let’s call it – “car”

Fred enjoy the pets !

I a so glad Fred said that! We see how he actually feels ;)

Oh Fred. I love that you’re OK with the old way of tying the dog outside. They’re happier being closer to their person than they would be if left at home!

You’re a lucky dog, loved by your family and fans around the world

There was a strip from the late nineties/early 00s that I don’t think is archived on gocomics. To the best of my memory: a local lady pets Fred as he waits outside a store, saying “Poor Fred, tied up and left to wait outside.” Fred thinks, “Oh, that’s all right, Mrs. Winthrop…I enjoy it. I’ve gotten my ears scratched, my head patted, my tummy rubbed…plus a butter cookie from Mrs. Simms’ little boy!”

Therapy dog

Because I sometimes check the dictionary before I post, I unfortunately learned that: “While some states define therapy animals and emotional support animals, they are not protected by federal laws, and therefore can be prohibited from businesses, restaurants and many other locations.” WIKI

Yes ….. You are a very “HAPPY” Dog ….. Fred ………. but might as well take all the Sympathy you can get …… :)

Know you are a happy dog Fred

Picket the place. They’ll let dogs in then.
