Beagle: A Howling Good Time

By Duncan Searl

What's the truth about beagles? Are they all nose and no brain? No way A beagle certainly has a powerful nose to work with--it has 220 million scent-receptors compared to the human's puny 5 million. But there's a lot more to beagles than the nose. And you won't have any doubts once you've met Trouble. This member of the USDA's Beagle Brigade works at Miami's airport--sniffing out banned meats, fruit, and other plant items. During five years on the job, Trouble has found over 1,800 banned food items Beagle: A Howling Good Time is a narrative treat for dog lovers that includes amazing, real-life stories about these little pups while also recounting the breed's history and its relationship to the animal's physical characteristics, personality, and suitability as a pet. Beagle: A Howling Good Time is part of Bearport's Little Dogs Rock series.
