Jake had to go through some tender loving care with his injury.  After those treatments were done, he was still on antibiotics.  So even while Jake was still healing from his injury, Bill brought Jake to the fire station so he can administer the antibiotics to Jake.  The firefighters there said that even though the puppy was still healing from the injury, he was always so happy.  It’s just nice to have Jake around.  Good for morale.

How this dog  became an honorary firefighter

Jake is a wonderful  people dog.  You can’t walk through the door without him wanting to greet you. Truly, he has never met a stranger.  When Jake goes to the fire station, all happy and bouncing around, he automatically brightens up the day for the people at the fire station.  Bill and Jake are inseparable.  They won’t be apart for long, and Jake would start barking or whining for Bill.

The Fire Chief, the mayor, and the town administrator decided to make Jake an honorary firefighter because Jake captures their heart, and he is invaluable to the fire station.  Sometimes the firefighters go on very difficult calls, and when they return to the station, Jake is there to greet them, and they would all feel better.  There is just no end to how dogs help us feel better.  You may have heard stories of how dogs show their gratitude to those who save their lives. Jake is such a dog.

What are Beagles like?

This breed is good-natured, and they are peaceful with everyone.  They are also energetic (wonderful trait around children) friendly, and loyal.  Beagles get along with other dogs and other pets.  So if you are a family with other pets and children, your Beagle will fit right in.  They enjoy the companionship of other pets as well as their family.

What Beagles need from you

Hide food from your Beagle

Since Beagles were developed to be hunting dogs, their nose will lead them.  If you don’t want your food to disappear from the table, put it away.   If you don’t want your trash can to be investigated for food, put it away until garbage day.  And if they smell anything interesting, off they go exploring, even if you call them and call them and call them.   They listen to their nose.  That’s why it’s important to have a secure fence when you have a beagle.

Why is it important to have a fence for your Beagle?

First, they really need a lot of exercise.  They are hunting dogs, remember?   They need to run leash-free.   But they are also climbers and diggers.  So if the fence is a flimsy one, they can easily escape.  It’s a good idea to monitor your Beagle when he’s outside the house.  Don’t leave him there too long by himself.  If he gets bored, he might howl and bay and dig holes.  And even though he would alert you to strangers, he’s too friendly to be a guard dog.  To recap, a good fence AND plenty of exercise and play time will keep your Beagle happy.
