Fred Basset by Alex Graham for December 03, 2021

Fred, we could learn from you dogs when it comes to looking past the differences of others…cheers!

See no reason you shouldn’t. You got Kitty accepted by everyone so that’s not a problem. You’re all doggies – Kitty being an honorary doggie – just different breeds. You’re more alike than different. Too bad people aren’t as smart as dogs.

I see the rest of the lads have accepted kitty. Good show guys.

And this is why I love this comic. So gentle and hopeful, with tongue firmly planted in cheek.

A friend had a basset who started off barking at me, then growling, then kissing me as I lay on the floor with him. He usually only barked in response and got along great with dogs and cats.

The Sausage Patrol Crew ;-)

I wish we could get more info on Kitty. Boy or girl? Has a home or not. At the very least a name!

Yep, but it was the choice of the cartoonist who drew these original cartoons All these names are created by the cartoonist himself.

However he passed away years ago so no chance of naming the cat that aren’t in his creation, more likely a recent appearance so no name unless he has a name for that cat.

I guess before he died, he wanted the cartoons to look exactly the same so respected his wishes.

They should be able to take on the Grosvenor (sp) Street Gang. Two big dogs for head-on attack, several medium dogs for flanking attack, two smaller ones for yipping and nipping and cat claws for terror.

Such a deal! All dogs (and cats!) getting along and just living in the moment (I sure wish that I could!). Is Purrcy really bigger than the 2 little dogs?!

Purrcy made the team!

AWWWWW…

Funny how PURRcy is camoflauged next to the other two doggies.

Would be easier to see if behind Jock. :D

Way to hang in there, Purrcy!!

Awwww! Purrcy is among them! That just warms my heart!

What a good looking group of friends!

Nothing strange about it Fred, friends are the most precious thing in life X

Dogs are social. They need their pack.
