A lemon and white Beagle sits by a kitchen counter with whipped cream on its nose beside a pie with a slice missing. 1 / 26

The Pie Was Fine Until the Beagle Looked Up With That Face

AI imagebeaglepiekitchen

The evidence is sitting right on the end of the nose. This lemon and white Beagle has a dab of whipped cream on the tip of its snout and a few more flecks on its muzzle, and it is looking straight up with big brown eyes and the faintest guilty smile. Behind the dog, a pie sits on a plate with a wedge scooped out and a smear of cream trailing across the edge of the counter. The kitchen around it is busy, with a gray dish towel, a fork, a few crumbs, and a clutter of jars in the background.

Beagles are famous for their noses, and it is easy to see why a pie would be hard to resist. They were bred to follow scents for hours, and food is often the strongest scent in any room. Many Beagles will happily search counters, trash cans, and low shelves if given the chance. The simple fix is to keep food pushed well back from the edge and to cool pies somewhere out of reach. It is also worth remembering that rich desserts are not good for dogs, and some ingredients such as chocolate, raisins, and certain sweeteners can be harmful, so if your dog gets into something unusual, a quick call to your vet is the safest move.

As for this fellow, nobody could stay cross for long. The cream on the nose says everything, and the little smile says he knows it. Some dogs hide their crimes badly, and this one has not even tried to wipe his face. He may have to share the next slice, but he is clearly hoping for a very different ending.
