At a picnic last weekend I met a girl who said Stella looked just like her old dog, a Plott hound from North Carolina. I went home and looked it up, and found photos of a bunch of Stella look-alikes on Wikipedia and other Plott hound sites. The dog in this photo could easily be Stella, except that it doesn't have the scarred ear sticking up the way she does.
