It is my pleasure to introduce our newest “big city coonhound” !! Meet gorgeous Sunny and his hooman, Frank. According to Frank, Sunny joined the family in August of 2015, and at the time he had never even heard of a coonhound. In fact, Frank shares, “At first we thought he was a beagle.” He soon learned other wise when Sunny started to grow into his ears and paws. Frank immediately fell in love with Sunny’s personality. He is a typical hound – gentle, social and LOVES to snuggle up next to his humans. No matter where you go he’ll follow right behind you (this may NOT be a typical coonhound trait).
Frank also learned a new meaning of stubborn and found it necessary to do some training with Sunny as he was “difficult” here and there at the beginning. But Sunny LOVES the city life. He enjoys going to the dog park, for long walks around the city to the Brooklyn Bridge, downtown, and to street festivals. The park is an absolute favorite for chasing squirrels. Frank plans to give Sunny a chance to visit Central Park as well. The versatile Sunny is also an avid hiker, and loves heading to Bear Mountain which is just 45 minutes north. Frank says Sunny is also quite the attention grabber. Everywhere he goes, people stop him and say what a beautiful dog Sunny is, and most say they have never seen his breed before. Sunny has been in Frank’s family’s life for four years now, and he says, “We cannot imagine being without him.” He adds that he is pretty sure a hound will be in his family for a LONG time.
After meeting Sunny, we can certainly understand why!!!!
A huge thanks to Frank and his family for sharing Sunny with “The Family Coonhound” !!!!
