Newbie was a rescue from a dog fighting house. According to the shelter from which we got her, they couldn’t get her to fight, so they used her for breeding. For her entire life with us, she had scars from where they tied her down for breeding… But despite coming from the most abusive background imaginable, she was the absolute sweetest dog. She was in my life for about a decade and, other than in her sleep, I never once heard her make an aggressive sound.

Unfortunately, she died a few years ago from a failing pancreas. She’s the only dog I ever had to choose to let die. I wish she were still here.

edit: She was really stinky, though.

    I’ve never heard of a pig beagle, but I’m sorry for your loss. It’s great that you have the dog you do. Maggie looks like a very sweet dog. When I was a kid we had a doberman named Maggie who was also very cute, but my dad was afraid of her (apparently she growled at him a few times) and gave her away. I hope you have your Maggie in good health for a long time.

      With the pug beagle (also called puggle) it’s supposed to alleviate some of the issues pugs have like their lil legs and breathing issues, for being a 7 year old when we rescued him form the humane society he was with us for a while

      And great minds think alike (naming dogs Maggie).
