A paragraph that tells voters something fun or interesting about the dog in the photo. Is this a Belly Rubs dog?  If so, how long has he or she been a part of your family?  Can you share something special that we could include on our calendar if your photo wins?
This is Bam Bam, he is a 10 year old, Basset - Plott hound mix. Bam Bam is originally from a kill shelter in Mississippi, he was rescued 9 years ago. Nobody wanted him because he was also heart-worm positive and had severe anxiety issues due to being abused. 9 years later, Bam is now full of confidence and pretty much rules the house. Don't let his looks fool you, although he loves to lounge around, get belly rubs , sleep on the couch and make his bed (yes, he arranges his blankets in a very particular way), he is as agile as they come. "Bammy" can sprint and bounce like a Plott hound, and track a scent in no time! He is definitely not a fan or the ear-wash bottle, and squirrels seem to be his archenemies (thankfully he has never caught one).
