A few words from Oliver's owner, Brian Gray: [Oliver] loves to cuddle with his family on the couch and adamantly claims his share of the bed. It’s quite obvious that Oliver can’t tell the difference between beagles and people! One of the most interesting and entertaining things about Oliver is his addiction to green beans. Our vet told us to feed them to him as a healthy snack and now it’s a nightly ritual that can’t be broken. Starting around 8:30pm every evening he waits/hovers/whines/cries in the kitchen until he gets his snack and it’s always a sheer joy to him when he sees the can. (Yes, he can recognize a can of green beans!)
