"Lucky the hound dog howlin for spring to come!"
My name is Dina Anzalone and this is my bassett hound named Lucky. We are from Round Lake Beach. This picture was taken just a few days ago. It was quiet cold out and I told him Lucy spring isn't coming anytime soon he let out a big howl and I so happened to snap a picture at that time. I'm guessing he is ready to get out in some warm weather ... Dina Anzalone - A marsh fire burns in the background as they begin to block off Rollins Road Marla Cramer
