Troy the protective Beagle

I love the photos of the week! Beagles are the best although you don't know it until you have one right? haha. Our Beagles name is Troy and we have had him since he was 8 weeks old! He's going to be 2 in February. I attached a few pics of him hiking, relaxing, and just being a beagle. It's amazing to us how far this lil guy has come. When he was just 5 months old he was involved in a terrible accident. We live in the city but walk him in a very safe area. What happened and what he did was truly amazing. My girlfriend was walking him and someone out of nowhere stole her purse. The robber grabbed and ran knocking my GF over. Troy, being courageous and loyal, got angry and chased after the thief barking. Being a puppy and not knowing that cars are a lot bigger then him, he chased the thief right across the street and was hit by a car. To make a long story short, his life was in great danger. We were able to get him right to the hospital and he survived obviously but suffered a fractured pelvis and fractured his front right arm. As well as other cuts and bruises and such. All this said, my favorite picture of the 4 attached is def the one of me and him running in the open fields down cape cod. It touches my heart every time we can frolic and play like that as we thought he may never be the same again, even feared his life. Enjoy and keep up the good work!

 

Merry Xmas, Happy Holidays, Happy New Year !!!
