Otherwise, he seems to assume he'll be with me all day and will sit beside me as I put on my socks and shoes. I will ask him to hold my sock, and drape a sock over his snout:

He'll sit there patiently holding my sock as I put on my other sock and a shoe:

When I take the sock from him, Basil will relax with pride that he has indeed helped me.

Wow!!!! Basil is so awesome. If I tried that with Georgie she would run off with the sock.

Isn't that the dog from Mad Max? I love the look of the blue's. Mind you, that red is a cutie too, very foxy looking in the face. Thanks for the photos Doc and Kudos to you and Martha for your rescue venture.
