Can I fly like Dumbo with these ears?

Being a basset hound is really cool, everyone in the city seems to like me! My ears help me capture smells from the ground with my long nose. If I didn't weigh so much and have short legs, I could probably fly like Dumbo.

Next week I am going to sniff around Saint Louis, Missouri to see if I can find other dogs that look like me. Every year this cool city hosts the World's Largest Mardi Gras Pet Parade. My nose is already in the air sniffing down the days until the pet parade.  A-OOOOOOOO!
