Bloodhound
Determined. gentle. Yours.
You haven't truly lived until a Bloodhound has locked onto a scent trail in your backyard and dragged you, a full-grown adult, through a hedge like you weigh nothing. Those impossibly long ears sweep the ground like velvet curtains, funneling every molecule of the world's story straight to that cathedral of a nose.
