Add some cuteness to your Insta-feed today with these local dog accounts.
Although National Beagle Day was on April 22, we don't need a special holiday to celebrate our favourite local beagles, so we're putting the spotlight on 9 adorable Vancouver beagles with Instagram accounts you'll love.
As well as being ridiculously cute, beagles are compact and hardy, and make active companions for the whole family. They are fun loving, gentle and loyal, and as they were bred to be hunting dogs, they have more than 220 million scent receptors (compared to a human's 5 million), meaning they're often found with their nose to the ground.
As if you need any more evidence of how great this breed is, a beagle from Japan named Purin (meaning 'pudding' in Japanese) is a Guinness World Record holder for the most balls caught by a dog in one minute. And yes, it's a cute as it sounds - you can watch the video here. If you'd like more beagles brightening up your Instagram feed, here are 9 adorable Vancouver pups to start following today!
