Hudson was rescued by B.O.N.E.S. from a bad situation in Limington, ME. After the gentleman called 911 (and subsequently passed away), the local ACO found 20 dogs living in squalid conditions.
B.O.N.E.S. took most of them and found them new homes. Overall, Hudson was in very good shape but when he had his physical, they found a serious mast cell tumor in his nose. As much as possible was removed.
B.O.N.E.S. wanted to find a wonderful home for Hudson and we did. John is a long-haul trucker that had lost his beagle companion of 13 years. He wanted a new companion. Luckily John found Hudson (or Hudson found John). It was a wonderful match. Hudson reported in regularly, and we share his "Chronicles" on this page.
Hi everyone, Hudson here. Happy Easter.
John took me to some of his friends to celebrate Easter. They have three kids and a dog. I had lots of fun and even got my own Easter basketHudson! I have been having fun since we got home. I have met two people with dogs and I have fun playing with them. John took me down to Portland to the Peterbilt dealership to get some parts for the truck. I met all the people there and visited one of the salesmen for a while. I have my own seat in his office. He made fun of john a lot but was nice to me. I think he likes me better. I'm not surprised, after all, I am a beagle.
I had some fun on Thursday, I was in the pickup while John was visiting a friend here in town. The window was down about 6 inches and I managed to escape. John came out and started to look for me right away. He and two of his friends searched the parking lot and and were able to find my tracks. Big deal, there was still lots of snow! I got out of the snow and those guys didn't have a clue. John drove up and down the street several times and walked up and down lots of times. I was laying in the woods a few houses down. Those three were terrible hunters...they didn't even smell me! They could never find a rabbit, no less catch one. I'm glad I don't depend on John's hunting skill to feed me. He finally did see me lying there and came and get me. I thought it would be fun to play hide and seek with those guys but I got worried that I might be homeless when I saw how bad they really were. I learned my lesson.
Tomorrow it's back in the truck for three days to do two short runs here in New England. The following week we are supposed to load for California. More when it happens.
