You should always do research on the breed before adopting a dog and Georgie didn’t know the breed. Luckily, Bassett Hounds are good with kids. I also feel like if you’re not going to let the dog sleep inside, don’t have one. I kind of hope they’re just dogsitting her (and therefore it‘s not nice to have the kids calling her a different name). But hopefully when they settle on a home someday they can get a dog to keep.
