Here is a great story about one of the very first hounds BHRA found a home for...he was actually number 26! This is the story as recounted by founding BHRA Trustee Eunice Cleeland:"I will never forget Christmas Eve, 1999 when Stretch and I loaded the truck very early and headed for Meridian, MS where we finished the first leg of the journey for Bo, a precious all-black-and-white basset who was adopted by Ricardo and Jackie Flores, as Jackie's Christmas gift. His destination was Dallas, TX and he made it around 11PM - just in time for Christmas. We met a motor home in the parking lot of K-mart in Meridian where they warmly welcomed Bo and made a nice comfy spot for him. The Flores family finally moved to California where they became involved in rescue. Bo was about 5 years old at the time he was adotped 10 years ago. We will never forget that Christmas Eve. "
Here is an update on Bo from his devoted food slave, Jackie:
"I can't believe it has been 10 years since we got Bo. My how things have changed. Bo is doing great and still rules the house. I didn't think it was possible for him to be more spoiled but he definately is. He has a bed in every room and eats whenever he wants. He jumps around and barks when he is hungry or wants treats. Right now he thinks he is a hobbit and eats 4 meals a day with treats thrown in often. This maintains his weight at a steady 52 pounds. He still has a spring in his step and trots around the house. Of course he spends about 20 hours sleeping and just trots from bed to bed.Ricardo and I have decided that he wags his tail more than any other dog that we have ever had. He brings joy to our lives daily. We can't thank you enough for taking a chance with us all those years ago. Just looking at him makes me smile. Even when he is being naughty I can't get mad at him. I try but he just wags his tail at me and I end up smiling. So spoiled…so loved!!!"
Ron was bribing them with treats! 
Don’t let the roses fool you, it was very cold this morning.
