I forgot to update! So sorry. The waddle was so much fun, i think we may plan to do it again next year!


According to the Guardian Angel basset Rescue site, they raised over $75,000 at the 2009 waddle and 16 bassets were adopted to forever homes. Altho by tuesday they received 15 more hounds who now need homes, i’d say the weekend was a success.


The Waddle is part of Dwight, IL’s Harvest parade. The whole town comes out for this parade and the waddle leads it off! People bring out pans of water and ice for the hounds and they like to sit on the curbs to pet the dogs as they walk by! Once i started to photograph i soon discovered just how hard it is to illustrate how HUGE this event was. But you can view all of the photos i took before it poured down rain as the waddle set on flickr

I also want to point out one thing, this guy’s name is benjamin. He has a wheelie cart cause his back legs don’t work to support his body. He is being rehabilitated using a pool and swimming and treadmill everyday..but this little guy waddled the 10 blocks AND the 10 blocks back to the park!
