I can't believe it's been a year and a half since Tank has had his surgery. He has never been able to trail again and is in permanent retirement. However, he can hop around the backyard like nobody's business. He has lost proprioception in his back left foot, which means he doesn't know where that paw is. It's hard for him to walk not knowing if he's actually set the foot down on the ground or if he's set it down flat. Hence why he hops instead. He's injured himself a few times since, falling down or once being bulldozed by his sister (they aren't allowed together anymore). Fortunately he hasn't had any serious injuries (minus the bulldozing) and doesn't seem to be in pain. He is just as happy and goofy as ever.
Hire A Hound is a blog dedicated to using bloodhounds to trail people. We use our dogs to find missing people and criminals. We are located in Southern California, but we've worked with numerous police agencies across the country, given expert witness testimony in many court trials and published peer-reviewed research to prove that bloodhounds really do work.
