The owners of this clever beagle had to install a hidden camera to figure out how he was helping himself to their snacks. What they found out was pretty impressive.

“Our entire pack disappears for a day or two when someone field dresses a deer. They come back with full bellies (sometimes dragging a leg or two ) “
The instructor of my hunter safety course cited that exact thing as a reason for why proper field dressing refuse should be properly disposed of.
At about age 10, our AkitaX (probably 1/2 Husky) managed to pull an entire deer carcass out of the woods and onto the homestead. He really wanted to bring it into the house, or at least onto the deck and into his pen, but my husband moved it far enough away so he was able to see it from the house and still get to it.
It was amazing to watch him grab the leading edge with his teeth, set his hind legs and pull it toward him. Rinse and repeat. Dragged that thing about an acre, at least. It was winter, so, it stayed there while he snacked on it until all you could see was the bare rib cage. The legs/hooves/antlers ended up all around the yard as chew toys. It was a major prize for him.
I’m pretty sure it was a coyote kill. I’m sure they got some, too.
They are scavengers. Innards are quite nourishing, so it is good they clean them up.
The beagle slept between feedings. I don’t recall that dog ever going more than a few hours between meals.
“Why was the dog’s owner leaving chicken nuggets in a toaster oven...on a timer...so many times that it became necessary for them to install the camera?”
I think they figured out what was going on and thought it would be neat to get it on camera. So they set the whole thing up again to be filmed.
This explains a lot about our dog. Ginger has to have Beagle in her. We finally got trash cans with self closing lids everywhere in the house. There isn’t anything safe if left out. She did climb up on our counter to eat my asthma meds that were sealed in blister packs.
We feed her twice a day. She was acting like she hasn’t been feed to me on evening. So I feed her. She inhales all of it. Turns out my husband had just feed her 10 minutes previously.
Look like Dutch wooden shoes with heels
Very clever, capable of abstract reasoning. However, I did not see the dog eating any doggie treats. Were they stored in the cupboard above the microwave? Who knows.
The . . .Shadow . . .. knows...
Not quite.

Smart is getting your own grub.
Genius is throwing a block party.
[we discussed sight hound “brilliance” earlier]
;D
Oh, that was great! Greys are wonderful dogs!
Generous, too.

LOL So true. Try having 7 of them in the family. What a riot that is.
Years ago we had a Cocker that climbed up on the table to get at some roast beef. He had never done anything like that previously. Flash forward 8 years and the Cocker we got to replace him would climb on the table top get anything. Nothing can be left near our little mountain goat as we now call her.
I have a dachshund that you have to push your chairs back in to the table or she will help herself when you leave the room. She recently scarffed down about a quarter of a Costco pumpkin pie.
They are amazing and we are richer for having known them.
If this pooch were in Port St. Lucie he would just dial 911
And then there's the other Cocker who would climb onto the table to do clean-up duty as soon as we left the house. There's a reason we make sure to push the chairs in. The only thing keeping her off now is a bum leg.
Killer cops on the loose, lookin’ for criminal beagles to pop!
