Roy was originally thought to be a Beagle / Basset Hound mix. However he was DNA tested and we learned that Roy is actually 37.5% Pembroke Welsh Corgi, 25% Basset Hound, 25% Beagle and 12.5% Collie! What a surprise.—"Roy (a.k.a. No Brainer; Jumbo Frank; Low Rider and Limo [because he's stretched]) is a Cinderella story. This is Roy receiving his Outstanding Achievement Award for attending THIRTY car shows between April, 2011 and April, 2014. The presentation took place at the Horseless Carriage Club of Missouri's 53rd Annual Concours d'Elegance in Forest Park. He was a rescue dog from the Monroe County Humane Society and had been part of an adoption event held at a car show in Columbia, IL. His name was Rory, but my wife had a hard time with the second R so she just called him Roy. He soon took on some appropriate nicknames and has been our mascot for the Take A Kid To A Car Show program started many years ago by SEMA, the Specialty Equipment Market Association in Diamond Bar, CA. The ladies say he is "beautiful" and he sometimes wears an infant T that bears the message "I'm a Chick Magnet". In the past four years, Roy has been to over 40 car shows with my foster grandsons and me. In typical basset manner, he is a lover boy all the way... extremely affectionate and gentle. He loves everyone, especially children. I like to say his two favorite things are cheeseburgers and children."

One of my all time favorite pictures. It reminds me of the famous quote by Josh Billings, "A dog is the only thing that loves you more than he loves himself".
