Maggielee, the Dog of the Day
Name: Maggielee
Age: Eight years old
Gender: Female Breed: Basett Hound
Home: Newark, Delaware, USA
 
   Maggielee has grown up with lots of kids around, and sometimes forgets that she isn't one, herself. She's affectionate, and has a super disposition. Maggielee was specially chosen for her disposition with children. She grew up with not only three children, but also a home day care. Even if a toddler accidently hurt her, she'd never nip or growl, ever. She is very sociable and hates being alone. If that happens, you'll hear the traditional sad howl of the Bassett Hound.

    Maggielee loves playing tag with the kids in the back yard, and doesn't mind if she's always "it." In the summer, she loves being sociable, lying by the pool... or running around the deck. However, she is careful not to fall in. (She is not a good swimmer.) Her funniest trick is what we call "sitting pretty." For a treat, she will sit upright on her hind-end, and her paws up, almost like a little toy poodle. Being a 55 pound stout kind of gal, this isn't an easy feat, lemme tell you.
