The title really says it all. The basset hound is almost always there in
Oshii's signature long musical interludes (Ghost in the Shell I & II, Patlabor
II ... etc). Does the basset hound have a special meaning to Oshii?

question
mamoru-oshii
Why does Mamoru Oshii include a basset hound in his movies?


In a ["Japanorama" interview with Jonathan
Ross](http://www.animeuknews.net/news/832/jonathan-ross-tv-interview-with-
mamoru-oshii) he mentions that he thinks that he's a reincarnated basset
hound. He's got an affinity for that particular breed of dog so he uses it a
lot in his movies.
