A while back, our dogs chased an animal up from the woods. It was a little beagle puppy. This beagle puppy that had been starved and severely abused/neglected. We took him in, and fed him, etc. A while later, we noticed that our potatoes (we keep them in a cupboard in the kitchen that is low to the ground) were going missing! A few days later, we noticed that the beagle had actually been swiping the potatoes, and hiding them for later! No real teeth marks left in the potatoes, they were just hidden in places like dark corners, under couch cushions, etc. We figured maybe he just thought he should hide them cuz he was afraid of going hungry(as with his past owners). But then, I brought my puppy to my Dad's house, and he did the same thing as the beagle did! My puppy never came in contact with the beagle, so he couldn't have learned that from him. Anyone know why the dogs would do this? We feed them every day, so there's no reason why they would be so hungry.
