Beagle is a small-sized dog, breed of small hound and its face is look-alike much larger foxhound. Coming in colors ranging from lemon, black, tan, white, red, and orange, beagles of some form were recorded in Ancient Greece and are even present in the works of Shakespeare. The modern beagle, however, can be traced back to the 1830s when the Reverend Phillip Honeywood established the first modern pack. In the past, beagles were praised for their hunting ability and are today valued as sniffer dogs owing to their incredible sense of smell. The beagle is also a cartoon mainstay with Snoopy, Underdog, Odie, Mr.Peabody, and Gromit all drawing motivation from the real-life hound.
