Riley was adopted from happydogsrescue.com, the same place that his big brother Brady came from. Riley has a ton of energy and tries so hard to do everything his big brother does.
HOW DID YOU TAKE THIS PICTURE????
AMAZING
10;Riley is indeed a gorgeous little fellow and is so extremely lucky to have been adopted by you.
What a happy life he will live playing with his big brother, catching butterflies on his nose, and in the safety of your home.
Hei... I read look your dog's picture from begining to the end and I think that is interesting picture.. I think i will tell this information again to my friend and I hope this information will be usefull for them.
OMG.....one in a million picture. How fabuous to be able to capture this in a forever moment.
Great job on the rescue.....he is a fabulous pup. Many years of happiness. Belly rubs and biscuits forever!! XXX
How sweet! Riley is so beautiful even the butterflies can't resist him. He is a stunning puppy (is he part Boxer or Beagle?) and looks like a whole lot of fun too. Have a long, happy and fun-filled life baby, 11+++ biscuits and kisses, love you! xxx
a picture speaks a thousand words! his personality shows in this one, almost like he could talk! all of my dogs are rescue also, they are the best! ya'll are welcome to come play in the swamp anytime!
Now I have to be honest, this picture is one of the best pictures I have seen in years. Not an easy shot to get! Riley, you have got to be one of the cutest pups I have seen in a long time, your breed is one of the rarest I have heard of too, I would take you home too, I would spoil the heck out of you too.
This picture couldn't have come out any better......he is just gorgeous!! I love to start my day with the daily puppy.....boxes of biscuits to every doggie!
I couldn't do just one picture for this guy, so I had to do two - you are very lucky to have this sweetheart come into your lives and he's lucky to have you!
What an adorable dog! I hope you have many happy and healthy years together! I am also so glad you chose adoption. As a member of the ASPCA I always think adoption should be your first option. So many animals need go and loving homes. Much love and many biscuits to Riley and Brady!
I had to comment on two pics to. OMG this pic stole my heart. This is adorable, he is a lover of all and all loves him. Bless his and your hearts. Have great lives together. Lots of loves and hugs and belly rubs~
Riley is awesome and the pictures are great !!! Thanks for rescuing dogs!! We (and they) need more people like you. Many happy years together. Congrats and belly rubs to Riley!

Oh my gosh!!! I totally see the Saint Bernard in him. So precious!!! Who is cuter....the small butterfly or the big dog? No competition!!! Riley wins!!! :)
Very hard to choose between this picture or the bug on the nose picture! It appears from this picture that you made the right choice for everybody. Brothers & best friends forever!
What a beautiful face! I was going to ask also if he is part beagle or boxer?
Sure is cute and I'm happy you got to adopt him. May he have many happy puppy years.
OMG the perfect shot! You're a gentle giant, Riley, and your wonderful nature shows so clearly in this photo. Kisses, cuddles, and cookies from Cara...
Thanks so much everyone!
I wish I could take credit for the amazing photos, but they were taken by a photographer-friend -- she's got a ton more of the two of them on her blog -- blog.kentiga.com
;Riley is about 40 lbs at 4 months...our vet's initial guess was 50-60 lbs is how big he'd get, but who knows!
And, if anyone is in the Kansas City area, there are still a couple of his litter mates up for adoption!
Riley you are a stunner!! Seriously, one of the most handsome dogs I have seen on here. If I saw him walking and I was driving, I would pull over and jump out to pet him, and of course give him a big smooch. There is something very special about this boy. I am in LOVE LOVE LOVE. He is just gorgeous!!!!
Awesome pic!! blow it up , frame it and sell some, share his cuteness :)he is too cute! I'm guessing Beagle/Saint Bernard mix??? Has your vet given an opinion on his breed mix?
I LOVE your sweet puppy! He has the most precious face, and he's just a little angel on earth........Love and care for him always! You are the luckey one to have him!
This little boy just can't take a bad picture! Love the scrunched up sun squint!
Sorry about the last comment from me, some how this comment and the comment before got switched, anf I didn't pick out the last pic! Weird!
This picture is perfect- what a moment to capture! Now, as for Riley, well ain't he the most adorable little puppy! Many biscuits and happiness to you both!
I do hope this picture is blown up and framed and in a gallery!!! CUTE!!! I love little Riley, him and his "big brudder" look like a barrel of laughs, enjoy your puppy hood sweetie pie! :)
Great pictures, the best I've seen in a long time on here. Oh, what a handsome fellow he is and he has another pal as well. You are one good owner and Riley deserves to be on here. Just terrific that you adopted him; he truly looks like a "happy dog."
Everyone used the Butterfly picture to comment (Totally great timeing) so I wanted to say that your Puppy is a wonderful specimen of hhow great mixed breeds are. I have a mixed breed myself and just love her!
Now how was I supposed to choose between this photo and the one where he has a butterfly on his nose? Just not fair! What a beautiful pup he is...unusual mix of the 2 breeds...two extremes. He is wonderful!
What a cutie pie! Lots of love to Riley and the entire family! He's a beautiful pup and his big brother is adorable too. Long, happy, healthy lives filled with love and fun to you all! A million biscuits to Riley and his bro! XOXOXO
Say "Cheeze Pleeaze!!!" lol ~ You are one fantastic photographer! What precious pictures! Riley is bound to have a rolicking wonderful life with his bosom buddy brother Brady by his side! There's all the biscuits you can eat for you here guys! ~That photo with the butterfly is priceless!;)
Riley is beautiful and this photo is absolutely priceless! I'll just bet he and Brady bring you unending joy. May you have many happy years to love each other.
I'm adding this picture to my favorites. All your pictures of Riley are beautiful. And, Riley is so handsome! Thanks for sharing him and his big brother
Riley's coloring on his face is magnificent! He and his bro look like such co-conspirators. Excellent photographs. My compliments to the photographer. Riley - You ROCK!
Beautiful face~ This photo reminds me of a St. Bernard I saw in a fenced area of his own just yesterday when we were out and about. If eyes could talk! Hugs from Elizabeth & Miss Katie =O)
What a special little guys Riley is, I like th picture with him & his brother best until I saw this one! This is priceless! Thank you for adopting your babies, it is such a great thing to do. Lots of kisses & belly rubs to your furry little babies.
Omg...this is the most perfect photograph of a perfect puppy...he is just gorgeous as is his big brother! I love them both! Give them tons of kisses and hugs for me!
Riley is such a handsome guy! The photos are all great, especially the classic with the butterfly. I know he'll add a lot of fun and love to your family.
As I was scroling down the pictures, I kept saying: O'My God! O'My God! Wonderful dogs, happy home! The last picture is a shot for me to keep forever in my file! May your blessings and biscuits never end!
Wow, what a great photo. Riley is very cute indeed. I love the others of him playing with his brother and the one peeking through the fence or railing is adorable too. Keep the camera handy, Riley is a great subject. Lots of love for him and his brother. May you all have a long and happy life together.
Have you looked at Anatolian Shepherd dogs? He really reminds me of our Anatolian Shepherd when he was a puppy. We also thought he was a St. Bernard mix. Just a thought.
GUILTY AS CHARGED!!!!! You have to go to puppy jail for stealing hearts like you stole mine! You can't hide behind your little bandit mask, we know what you did you heart stealer and giving that cute look can't get you out either. But don't worry little fella I'll help you get out , it's not your fault your so darn adorable. I'm gonna get you a couple thousand of them biscuits that you like so much and you make them into a pile, you climb up and you jump over that bad ol fence, or you can take just one of them little treats, keep it in you mouth, stand up and flip open that pesky little latch, open the gate and run out and play with your brother and some butterflies and then you should take a nap.
How beautiful! Kudos to you for adopting two beautiful dogs. And This one has such a gorgeous face. I love the butterfly on his nose. Lots of love to you and your two wonderful dogs.
*chuckles* Riley is so patient! My beagles would have wanted for bread to go with this butterfly! Such a wonderful, "caught it" photo! Riley is too cute!
You really,really need to enter that butterfly picture in some sort of contest! It would make such a nice calendar shot,advertisement,poster,etc.My grown son wants to use it as wallpaper for his computer.I want grown up pictures of Riley to see just how that bassett/Bernard mix turned out.
This is a truly classic shot that should be on a poster or something, where everyone can see. It's a beautiful pic, and Riley is awesome.Love this face.
Riley you are absolutely adorable and obviously love your big brother very much, you two look so happy together! All your photos are totally awesome, it was soooo hard to pick just one!! Wishing both you and your big bro many many happy and healthy years both together and with your family and friends as well as all the hugs, kisses, tummy rubs and doggie bikkies in the world!!! Lotsa love from Ange, Max and Chloe. xoxoxo
This is the best picture!!! That is so awesome!! :) You're a cutie Riley keep being kind to you fellow butterflies!! :) Have a great life with your cute big brother!! :)
Riley the Mixed Breed doesn't say much, does it, except he has a cute name but then when you look at Riley the mixed breeds face- boy, thats when you are hooked on this lad. Riley, you are one handsome lad, and the Irish name just adds to it. You have the most incredible eyes and the markings on your doggy face are just right, with one accenting the other. And how about that expression you're wearing as you look between the railing? If I didnt know better, I'd think you had been up to some kind of mischief. :o) Then there's the picture of your older brother proceeding to tear your little throat open as you holler and scream bloody murder when it doesn't even hurt¦I'd say you have quite a flair for dramatics. Fact is, I'd say you are quite the trip, my little puppy friend. :o)
Riley, of the tender, little butterfly-loving heart, I pray God gives you the most happy, healthy and exciting life a puppy dog like you could ever imagine, with lots of warm, sunny days in which to play with your big brother, fields full of butterflies to admire, lots of good food, toys and an abundance of love from those who have been given the wonderful privilege of being your caretaker during what I pray is a very long time on this earth, this, Riley boy, from your ole Uncle Jim of Kentucky, USA. Live long, love much and never stop smiling that wonderful doggy smile, little man. :o)
riley and brady - 2 adorable animals! all of the pix were sooooo cute it was hard to choose just one! riley shows love here for his pal brady - and is a happy and healthy puppy, giving love and receiving it back twofold! thank you for adopting brady and riley - i hope they will have a long and wonderful life with you - riley, a ton of biscuits and belly rubs for you and brady!! you are awesome!
Great puppy action shot (and you have a great camera...such vivid pictures)! I love the picture of him looking through the fence also...so much expression in his face!
Something goofy happened and wound up with this picture, meant to pick the one above, where big bro is attacking. Anyway, just wanted to compliment you on your fantastic photography. I realize you have an amazing subject to work with! What a pretty boy. Many happy years together.
"Guess that make me Saint Bassett! Doesn't it MOM!?" How sweet. I just love this precious face. May you have more tummy rubs and ear tugs than you can stand, and a boatload of biscuits to share with your big brother!
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME! I volunteer at a shelter and we LOVE it when alumni families come back to give another dog a forever home. Riley and Brady look like they've hit the doggie lottery! Belly rubs to both of them!
I Have a st bernard mix too! Riley is ardorble! I wonder if he is going to get big like a St bernard or stay small like a Basset hound? biscuit bones and belly rubes to you RILEY!
OMG!!! Just ain't enough cookies and biscuits in the world for this. Way to cute. Long and happy love filled lives to all. They are both very beautiful. Remember when people say spoiled, say "NO, not spoiled, just well loved!"
I adopted a dog and this is what Jasper looks like! I was shocked how much they are alike. I have been trying to figure out what he is. We are getting a dna test soon. These two could be brothers! Only difference is, Jasper face does not have as much white. Spirit looks the same too!
