If the Bassets were on the Federation Starship USS Voyager, the crew would not have minded that the journey home could take forever and a day.
Captain Katherine Janeway would have been particularly fond of the lowdown crew members and would have super doggy beds replicated and installed on the bridge. Who does not need four hooligans shouting 'We're gonna get us some alien postman ass!!' when the photon torpedoes are flying and smoke coming out of every console on the bridge?
The Bassets would have liked Neelix - he certainly would have always been ready to cook up some bone shaped biscuits. Neelix's hapless customers could have inquired what the Bassets had or lunch before dishing up for themselves. Even Mr. Vulcan (Lt. Tuvok) would have seen the logic in this - having four superior noses distinguish between hazardous flavors and those that can be safely consumed.
The Bassets would have been as vital as tricorders on every away mission on any planet surface. Just imagine how many lives could be saved if the Bassets could smell danger before anyone had to press a tricorder up against it.
Tom Paris would have taken Nougat on every Holodeck episode of Captain Proton because she is fast and curious and could easily fly with a little rocket attached to her back. She would try to befriend all the villains except for those who are cat lovers.
The Doctor would have insisted on Butter's presence in sick bay so that she can cheer up patients with the white tip of her waving tail or bite their ankles when they squirm or complain.
I'm pretty sure that Horton would have assisted Seven in keeping her workspace clean and efficient. No one is better at producing a huge quantity of drool at a moments notice and then absorb it with his long ears.
And The Bofa? He'd be looking for vermin in the Jeffreys Tubes all day long - except when there is some Alien Postman Ass to be gotten.
