A tricolor Beagle with big brown eyes sits on a couch beside a torn cardboard box overflowing with crumpled tissues. 8 / 32

One Box of Tissues Sat Within Reach. The Beagle Noticed.

AI imagebeaglecaught in the actliving room

A sprinkle of white tissue paper has landed on the living room couch, and the Beagle responsible is looking up with huge, worried brown eyes. His tricolor face is mostly tan and white, with soft long ears framing it. Right beside him, a cardboard box has been ripped open, spilling crumpled tissues across the cushion. Behind him, a cozy afternoon scene is waiting, with a knit blanket, a mug on the coffee table and a pair of reading glasses. We'll call him Copper, though he'd prefer to be known as innocent.

Beagles have one of the most powerful noses in the dog world, and they use it to investigate everything. Add a lively, curious personality and a love of food, and a tissue box that smells like a person's pocket becomes irresistible. They are friendly, social dogs that do best with daily walks and plenty of sniffing time. Swallowed tissue is usually harmless in small amounts, but large quantities of paper can cause stomach trouble, so check with your vet if you are concerned. Keeping boxes on a high shelf and offering a snuffle mat are easy ways to keep that nose busy.

Copper holds his pose with great sincerity, as if the tissues arrived in the box already torn. His tail may be wagging just out of frame. Somebody is about to start laughing, and he knows it.
