Description

What’s the truth about beagles? Are they all nose and no brain? No way! A beagle certainly has a powerful nose to work with—it has 220 million scent-receptors compared to the human’s puny 5 million. But there’s a lot more to beagles than the nose. And you won’t have any doubts once you’ve met Trouble. This member of the USDA’s Beagle Brigade works at Miami’s airport, sniffing out banned meats, fruit, and other plant items. During five years on the job, Trouble has found over 1,800 banned food items! Beagle: A Howling Good Time is a narrative treat for dog lovers that includes amazing, real-life stories about these little pups while also recounting the breed’s history and its relationship to the animal’s physical characteristics, personality, and suitability as a pet.
