Our beagle, Moby, dragged a fully sealed box that contained a bone, among other things, 50+ feet to the far corner of the living room. The only thing extracted from the box was the bone. As you may imagine, Moby was very pleased with himself.
Hi. My name is Moby. I dragged a sealed box into the living room, ripped open the bottom, dug out what I was looking for, tore off the plastic wrap, and was happily chewing my new bone when mom came home.

Very clever extraction Moby. You’d put those famous escape artists to shame

Beagles! Dontcha just love ’em?!
Barbara
Sounds like a very independent boy, who can take care of himself when left home alone. Good job Moby.
Susan
Aw what a smart and cute dog.
Elaine

There is a reason the US Customs Service uses beagles to sniff out food in luggage and packages! I find this behavior highly predictable– and adorable, just lie Moby.

LIKE Moby! Spell checker let me down.

Well done, Moby!!!! Leave it to a beagle to track down food.
My late beagle Buttons found a 3X wrapped Christmas gift of home made shortbread. She ripped it open, ate what she could, dragged the leftovers up three floors and hid the leftovers behind the TV…for later. It was only when she got stuck (she was kind of chunky) trying to get at the leftovers did I discover what happened. That was over 15 years ago and even though she left me, it’s is a wonderful story I have shared with lots of people.
Beagles Rock!!!!

I can just picture it – Buttons sounds like a clever girl!

You might be able to fool a dog but never its nose. LOL!

My dog always lets me know when the “man in brown pants who sometimes bring her toys” stops by. She can’t see any more, but she sure knows when a box comes through the door. She looks sad if I tell her it’s not for her . . . then I have to give her a treat to ease my conscience.
Suzanne
Nothing like a sad dog’s face (or should I say, a dog’s sad face?) to loosen up the treat jar, and why not? Life is short, 🙂 …

I have a foxhound named Moby and she has the same need to “inspect” packages. No doubt if there was something in there for her, she would find it.
