Shiloh is just about the same size as those beagles (45 lbs) and just as social. That dumb*ss woman, if she had been "confronted" with my Shiloh running towards her, would have had the same reaction (of course), and Shiloh would have been after the same thing - treats and cuddles. The media (in general) in this country has turned us into paranoid hysterics, afraid of everything we don't understand and too lazy to learn the truth for ourselves. When do we start recognizing that dogs are not convenient accessories to be used for a season and thrown out when they are no longer "just right". Dogs (and all other companion animals) are a lifelong commitment. I have a boxer/pit bull mix rescue female. Shiloh is just about the same size as those beagles (45 lbs) and just as social.

The only thing that beagles will attack is FOOD. Beagles are loving, gentle, funny and silly dogs. They love to cuddle! They make great pets. BUT....before running out to adopt one, please learn about their needs. Beagles are ruled by their noses. Really...they are a nose on four legs. Beagles must never be off leash! They need a fenced in yard! Arooo!! My goodness! The only thing that beagles will attack is FOOD.
