An elderly woman in a green cardigan sits on a pond dock with a rod and tackle boxes while a Beagle sits in front of her. 7 / 22

Grandma Nell Set Her Rod Down. Waffles Needed a Word.

AI imagebeaglefishingpond dock

The dock is old and gray, the pond is dark and still, and Grandma Nell has her fishing rod resting beside two little green tackle boxes. She sits in a moss green cardigan with her glasses on and her curly hair lit by the last of the daylight, looking down at Waffles with a gentle smile. The red and white Beagle sits right in front of her, front paws together, head tipped up and brown eyes soft with a hopeful look. A garden hose, a wooden fence and a few plants line the edge of the water in the dusky light.

A Beagle at the end of a dock is a dog whose nose is working hard, because water, fish and bait all have strong smells. Keep your dog away from hooks, lures and bait, which are dangerous if swallowed, and pick up any loose line. Docks can be slippery, and a dog that slips into deep water needs an easy way out, so a well-fitted canine life jacket is a good idea. Pond water can contain bacteria or algae that make a dog ill, so bring fresh water to drink. Keep your Beagle on a leash, since a sudden scent can send them off at speed. Treats can help keep them calm while you wait for a bite.

The fish may or may not bite today. Either way, Grandma Nell has the best fishing partner there is.
