The Snoopy comic strip made a lot more sense to me after we got a beagle. They think they are people.

Ours was not allowed in the living room, and was very obedient about observing his limit. When we would have friends over, he would lie down in the hall, with his paws just over the line... and then do the best imitation he could of people talking. It was hilarious.

He was heck on rats. We have quite a few here, since we live close to the mountains, and they like to come down and make themselves at home. You'd see him every once in a while, marching around proudly with one in his teeth. Never saw rats with him in the yard.

Some beagles have a little bit of a vengeful side. If you discipline them, they will find something you like, and chew it up.

All in all, ours was a delight.
