THE OLD HUNTING HOUND


THE OLD HUNTING HOUND
Originally uploaded by rikkis_refuge
Like Professor Higgins here, going blind. He gave many years of service and a lot of love to his former owner. Only to be dumped at the pound when he slowed down, couldn't see so well and didn't keep up with the other hunting hounds. Old dogs, especially ones already showing signs of age don't get picked out very often. Being a big dog is another reason you probably won't be selected in a pound. Being big and old .... Well you don't have much of a chance.

Now happily at Rikki's Refuge, with both human and doggy friends, the Professor can spend his remaining retirement years in peace and quiet and never have to worry about where his next meal is coming from or if he's going to be shot for poor performance.
