The Basset Hound is an extremely popular dog because it looks so cute – long floppy ears, a sweet face and sad eyes. It is known for having a strong sense of smell, making it an excellent hunter and tracker. And thanks to its short, stubby legs, it can stay close to the ground, letting it pick up scent quickly.

It has a 10 year life expectancy.
