Basset’s are long, long dogs. I have 3, one easily gets everything on the counters, one claims the table, the other is a very good boy and does none of that!
I had a bassett that alway ate bread and donuts. No matter how far back on the counter I put them she always managed to hide them in her jowls. When found she would look just like Fred and say “donut what donut?”
Burnside217: I had the same problem with Judge Parker today. How does a skunk get on a bed when its vertical jump is less than a foot and its claws are for digging, not climbing. Granted, a basset’s length helps, but they can’t stretch that far and have only double the skunk’s vertical jump.
When I returned home from Vietnam (in 1967), I swore that if anyone suggested going camping, I would hit them upside the head with whatever was near!!!

Why do they still put the food in his reach? They are like my mother…

For a short legged dog, he seems has no problem stealing from high places. (Such is life in a comics strip…)

Urrrp. Whoops. Fred lad may not be as guilty as charged. It needed a tad more paprika.

Fred’s a BIG basset. He can reach anything within 18" of the edge of a standard table or counter.
