The Frying Pan Is Suspiciously Empty. The Beagle Is Standing on the Stove.

Somehow, a tricolor Beagle has climbed all the way onto the gas stove, and now he is standing on the burner grates with all four white paws, right beside a frying pan that is suspiciously empty except for a few crumbs. His long brown ears hang forward, his eyebrows are raised, and his big brown eyes look up with a sheepish expression that suggests he did not think this far ahead. Sunlight streams through a lace curtain in the background, falling across a tiled backsplash, a small succulent, and a row of wooden spoons.

Beagles were bred as scent hounds, and their noses lead them almost everywhere, especially toward food. Many are famously food-motivated, which makes them eager learners in training but also champion counter climbers. A stovetop adventure is more dangerous than it looks. Dogs and cats can accidentally bump or turn stove knobs, and hot burners, pans, and grease can cause serious burns. Removing or covering stove knobs when you leave the house, never leaving cooking unattended, and keeping chairs or stools away from counters that make good launch pads are simple precautions. Putting leftovers away right after meals takes the temptation out of the equation.

This Beagle seems to understand he has gone a bit too far this time. A safe trip back down to the floor and a dog biscuit for good behavior might be the best plan.
