Snoopy as a scarecrow from birthday card

Snoopy hitches a ride:
Our beagle also demonstrated his unique personality from the beginning! The little dog was wandering along a lonely rural road when we found him one cold February evening. Bill and I were in separate cars driving home from our mechanic's garage when I spotted the pup limping along the road. It was pretty dark is that area and I was afraid that Bill might not see the little guy.
I slowed to a crawl and tapped my brake lights several times in warning. When Bill saw the dog he stopped and so I did too. I don't know what was wrong with me that night because normally I would not just go on past an animal that looked lost and alone, but there were some nearby houses and it didn't seem so strange to see a dog wandering loose in that area. I'm so glad that Bill had the sense to stop! When I approached, the dog was friendly but timid. He looked so small and I noticed that he had one blue eye. I thought that perhaps he was partially blind. I lifted him into my car and he willingly cooperated, so we continued toward home. In the confines of a closed and warmed vehicle in the winter, it didn't take long for me to smell a strong aroma of manure, which he apparently had been rolling in at some point during the day!
At home, the first order of business was to put Ben and Ollie outside so that we could bring the beagle in and down into the basement for a bath in the laundry sink. He was very good while I bathed him, even though I found he didn't like water too much. I was talking the entire time, trying to reassure and calm him, and by the time that I was finished toweling him dry we had bonded forever! Next: Mr. Hungry!
