A Beagle Found the Holiday Cookie Tin Before Anyone Else Did

AI imagebeaglecookiesholiday

A red holiday tin lies on its side, and cookies tumble from its mouth across the wooden floor. The red and white Beagle sits beside it with her long ears drooping and her eyes turned firmly away, as though she is thinking very hard about something else. Her collar is neat and her paws are tidy. A basket of clothes and a pile of papers say the room has had a busy day.

The holidays bring plenty of tempting treats, and many of them are dangerous for dogs. Chocolate is toxic to dogs, and so is the sweetener xylitol; raisins, nutmeg, and large amounts of butter or sugar are not good either. If a dog gets into a cookie tin, call your vet or a pet poison hotline and tell them what was inside. Beagles are especially persistent around food, so a high shelf or a closed cabinet works better than a lid. A dog biscuit offered on the side is a safer way to share the season.

We will call her Cinnamon. She looks like she is trying out different explanations in her head, but none of them seem to be working. Her tail is probably still wagging a little, because beagles are always cheerful. The good news is that the cookies appear to be mostly scattered and not yet eaten.
