Cute photo of a little girl hugging Leo of Reynalton, the six-time champion bloodhound, at the Crufts Dog Show in Birmingham, England in 1935.
Wonderful with children, bloodhounds like Leo, a six-time champion shown here, are often used by emergency personnel to track lost children, missing people, and escaped prisoners. Bloodhounds are ideal for this line of work because they have an innate desire to track and an exceptionally sharp sense of small. In fact, bloodhounds have been used by humans since medieval times to track lost people. Today’s bloodhounds are thought to be descendants of hounds kept and bred at the Abbey of Saint-Hubert in Belgium. Leo looks are loveable as can be in this photo from 1935 and loves getting hugs from his human.
