"Looking for Sign"

(press to enlarge)

I made this for my Dad for Christmas.  He just bought three Basset Hound/Beagle mix
pups to train for rabbit hunting.  The male dog, Louie, has a gimpy back leg and the lady
gave him to daddy for free.  Louie, of course, is a whiz bang rabbit hound.  He prefers a
rear guard role until the work of jumping the hare is completed by the two girls.  

This scene is how I envisioned the hunt playing out.  Dad and Louie looking for sign on an old stump with the rabbit watching the hunt unfold.
