Meet Jasper Dale, a charming six-year-old Basset Hound. Jasper belongs to Kelley Derby of Luverne. Like most Basset Hounds, Jasper is a true connoisseur of relaxation, with sleeping being his favorite pastime. When he’s not enjoying a peaceful nap, Jasper Dale can likely be found on a diligent search for any tasty morsels that may have fallen to the floor. His keen nose ensures that no crumb is left undiscovered.

Beyond his love for sleep and food, Jasper’s most vital role is looking absolutely adorable. His soulful eyes and floppy ears make him the perfect picture of cuteness. In addition to his adorable appearance, Jasper has a special talent. He knows how to shake hands, adding a touch of sophistication to his otherwise leisurely lifestyle.
