This happy hound is America's fourth favorite breed, thanks to its alert, inquisitive nature and lighthearted temperament. Beagles should never display resentment; their joyous temperaments are resilient, if sometimes, also, a little mischievous.
Beagles possess some of the best noses of all dog breeds. Their olfactory scent glands and nonthreatening demeanor make them ideal airport security workers, sniffing out potential bomb threats as well as contraband items.
Of course we all know and love Charles M. Schultz's Snoopy, but did you know that Snoopy was from a litter of 8 puppies? Only five of them ever made appearances in the comic strip, Peanuts. Those lucky dogs were Andy, Marbles, Olaf, Spike and sister Belle.
