Stretch NKA Wilbur

My husband and I lost our basset hound George in June of 2011, He was 13 years old. We had rescued him when he was around one to two years old. We thought we could never get another dog because we would compare that dog to George. But, after a few months we really missed having a friend to walk with and hang out with. So we started looking for another dog. We almost got a different breed, but I saw Stretch, (now known as Wilbur) on the GG Basset Rescue site and we knew we had to meet him. I filled out the application and we met Wilbur a few days later. The minute we saw him we knew he was coming home with us. He is the most amazing, sweet, loving, affectionate, dog. He fit right in, It was like he lived here his whole life. He gets along with my cats, he loves playing with the other dogs in the park, and he loves people and has to say hello to everyone we pass. We couldn’t imagine our lives without him. We love him so much. Margaret
