I happened into my Walker, too. Literally. She jumped in my car. Good thing, too. Apparently, she’d been very recently dumped, as she was running up to every passing car, tail wagging, then the picture of dejection when the cars didn’t stop. She’d have been dead by morning, if I hadn’t taken her in. Some breeds don’t “get” cars very well, and the Walker Hound is one of them. She likes to ride in them well enough, though. Don’t know of many dogs who don’t, unless they have a negative association with being taken to the vet or something.
Oh good for you and the houndie. Walkers are gorgeous dogs... very long legs. Our dogs LOVE going to the vet. The smells alone are a blast. But, treats.
