Grandma Nell Unwrapped Her Sandwich. Waffles Was Already Leaning In.

The sandwich is halfway to Grandma Nell's mouth when a long, brown-spotted nose arrives to investigate. Waffles has stretched his neck as far as it will go, his black nose just inches from the bread and his big brown eyes glancing sideways at her face. Grandma Nell smiles down at him with curly gray hair, round glasses and a soft gray cardigan over a white shirt, the sandwich with its green lettuce held in one hand. Behind the green park bench, flowers bloom in a terracotta pot beside a window with a lace curtain, and autumn leaves dot the grass.

Beagles are famous for their appetites and their noses, and a sandwich will get their attention from far away. Sharing human food is tempting, but many common sandwich ingredients are not good for dogs. Onions, garlic, grapes, raisins and anything containing xylitol can be harmful, and salty deli meats, sauces and heavy bread can upset a stomach. Beagles also gain weight easily, so keep treats small and plan for them in your dog's daily food. A better habit is to bring a dog-safe treat or a little cut-up carrot on picnics. Teach your dog to wait politely by rewarding calm behavior. If your dog swallows something unsafe, call your vet or an animal poison hotline.

Waffles has been very patient, and his nose has done most of the talking. Grandma Nell may be about to share a small, safe crumb.
