A Basset Hound in a Reindeer Sweater Gave the Camera His Softest Look

His ears are long enough to touch the sweater, and the sweater is covered in reindeer. A lemon and white Basset Hound sits on a soft armchair wearing a red and white knitted sweater with a reindeer pattern, his big droopy eyes looking soulfully into the room. A lit tree, a coffee mug, and a few well-loved books fill the scene behind him, and the mood is as cozy as it gets.

Basset Hounds are scent hounds with long ears, droopy eyes, and short legs, and their sweet, laid-back natures make them a popular family pet. Those ears need regular cleaning, since the folds can trap moisture, and their long backs mean they shouldn't jump on and off high furniture. Keeping them at a healthy weight protects their joints and spine.

A sweater can be a nice addition on a cold day, particularly for short-coated dogs. Make sure it's the right size and doesn't restrict his legs, and take it off if he seems warm or bothered by it. This Basset looks content, sitting very still in his reindeer sweater with a gentle, thoughtful face. He doesn't need to say anything. The sweater, the ears, and those sad, sweet eyes tell the whole story of a dog with a very cozy Christmas. His ears sway when he shifts, and the reindeer on his sweater seem to prance. A warm lap and a soft chair finish off the perfect holiday picture.
