The current series of the Peanuts comic strip has Snoopy in the role of “Head Beagle” where all beagles are to follow his orders. My Basset has decided to appoint himself “Head Basset”. He does not restrict himself to giving orders to his own breed. He will give orders to anyone, friend, stranger or foe. I get a lot of enjoyment comparing Cooper’s thoughts as I perceive them as I am reading about Snoopy’s thoughts in the comic strip!
