Aidan

We met Aidan on February 5, 2014, as part of a caravan of rescued dogs coming from the South. His first part of the trip was a plane ride with Pilots for Paws with the last leg of his journey from Louisiana to Pennsylvania via transport trailer. He was originally found on Craigs List in Louisiana by a friend of Tri-State. He had a rough start having mange that required bi-weekly dips and daily meds. We originally thought he was a basset hound puppy but his ears stopped growing and his legs kept growing and it became clear he was not a basset, especially when our bassets could walk underneath him. But we loved him just the same.

Aidan was a playful, energetic, puppy and loved playing and most of the time destroying his squeaker toys. His toys were his great treasure and he would proudly bring them to you. He loved playing with our bassets, Ruby and Grace. They often would engage in the “Howlelujah Chorus”. He was a gentle soul and loved our grandchildren dearly. He enjoyed many trips to Ocean City, NJ and his special beach friend, Edna. He loved popcorn but his favorite treat was Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits.

He lived a happy, long life and celebrated his 12th birthday July 7th. He had many nicknames: Buddy, Cajun Aidan (for his Louisiana roots), and Aidan Mathus (one of the handsome men on the ABC drama Revenge). We will miss this sweet boy so much but know he is running pain free and waiting for us at the Rainbow Bridge.

Thank you to Tri-State Basset Hound Rescue for placing him with us and the many years of happiness and memories he gave us.
