This is my beautiful Otis. I adopted him from Basset Hound Rescue of Ontario after he had been rescued from abandonment and abuse. He was taken to a kill shelter and was about to be euthanized when a kind technician contacted BHRO directly and he was rescued.
We had 13 1/2 years together; he was my family. He had the sweetest face, and when I massaged behind his long, soft floppy ears, he would moan at how good it felt. He would come with me in my car, we went for walks every day, he would come to friends for visits.
He had a bad start due to his mistreatment but he was rehabilitated to a become a happy and lovable boy and he had a good, long life. I loved him so much, he was my soulmate, my sweet boy.
His health began to deteriorate in the fall of 2019. On March 25, 2021, when he was 14 1/2, I had to let the love of my life, cross over. I hope he's waiting for me and can't wait until we are reunited. When we are, we will go for a nice long walk and we'll run and play and cuddle just like old times. I love you Otis. I love you so much.
