Elvis the Basset Hound Howl

My dog howling. HOORAY!

UPDATE:
On 14/01/10, Elvis was rushed to the vet with GDV (Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus). He had an emergency 4 hour operation where his stomach was re-attached and partly removed along with his spleen. He remained in hospital for 13 days under close supervision following several medical complications. He is now at home recovering from the ordeal (thankfully).

THIS COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED EASILY:
Unfortunately, like so many dog owners, we were not aware of GDV and that one very simple thing can be done to prevent this life-threatening condition from happening...

DO NOT EXERCISE YOUR DOG SHORTLY BEFORE OR AFTER MEALS.
Elvis and his owners learnt the hard way. Spread the word and make sure people find out the easy way. Google 'GDV dogs' and ask your local vet. xxxx

RIP Elvis
On 24/09/11 Elvis passed away shortly after his 14th birthday. He went peacefully and was put to sleep by our local vets. x

i love this video. and I'm sorry about your Elvis. I happen to have a basset name Elvis, he is 18mos. and he goes crazy whenever he hears your Elvis howl :) bassets truly are the best.

I'm sorry about Elvis. I had a basset very much like Elvis, his name was Abraham. He passed away a couple of years ago too. I wouldn't doubt that on the other side of Rainbow Bridge, that both Abe and Elvis are having a sing along.
