It's wonderful! My childhood dog was a beagle named Peanuts - smart as a whip. So my husband asked me one day if I wanted to go look at beagle puppies and I replied "you know, if I go see a beagle puppy that one is coming home with us, right?". And that's how we got our Jessie. She was a sweetheart but a real dumbo - had me twisted around her little paw though!
