Yes, definitely food seekers! We had to keep the kitchen waste basket in a cabinet, my daughter's beagle would "dive bomb" the waste basket and act like it was a buffet! (His vet said he looked like a "five gallon bucket with legs"!) LOL Also, he would seem to go deaf when he was on the scent of something, we could call him and he wouldn't even look up. With all that said, we had him for fifteen of the most wonderful years. He was a real sweetheart and we still mourn his passing.
