It certainly isn't, there's no doubt about it.

Now - that's the famous shaggy grey Merlin in the background ... so who's this in the foreground?

Poor dog! It's just a shame!

How could anyone resist that sweet face and pleading eyes. Great puzzle.

Is there perhaps a hint of guilt as well as pathos in that face?

With that look and those eyes I couldn't say no

I've seen that look before. With my dogs it generally meant 'You want me to go where? When? I'm perfectly comfortable right here, thank you!'

I LOVE Beagles!! One homesteaded our doghouse years ago and just moved on in the house when the weather got cold. He had his own rug in front of the fireplace and we called him Gus. He's been dead now almost 9 years. We buried him down by the creek. It was his favorite outside place. This one looks a lot like him.

I've been lying here with this leash on for ages, when are we going for that walk?

Can't wait till dino tells us the whole story.
