Arrival Story:
Scooter was one in a litter of seven bassett/lab mixes at the local animal shelter. Three of her siblings were long dogs with long legs, and the other four had long bodies and short legs. She was of the latter group. Weary of long days spent rolling over her brothers and sisters and chewing their ears, anxious for greater intellectual opportunities and a more diverse diet, Scooter turned on the charm and wiled her way into our home

Bio:
Scooter has a degree in Leisure Studies from Wake Forest University. She is currently at work on a long autobiographical tract entitled _From the Bed to the Bone: A Bassador's Wagging Tale_.
