 Ezekiel came from Bishop animal shelter in Bradenton, Fla. He was 4 months old when I got him. I had just put my beagle Bandit down with colon cancer after trying chemotherapy. Bandit was 1 1/2 years old and was bought from a breeder. Ezekiel seemed to know I was having trouble breathing at night due to my asthma and would wake me up. It was then that I realized this beagle was special. After talking to my friend who trains dogs, I learned how to get Zeke trained as a service dog. Ezekiel is now a Certified asthma alert dog. This does come at a cost, and lots of schooling and many hours at home. He knows before I have an asthma attack even when we are miles apart. Recently his skills have increased and he can now let me know prior to my foster beagle having a grand mal seizure. Beagles are very smart and with time and patience can learn. Not all beagles will grow up to be service dogs like Ezekiel, but I sure hope they are loved just like him. With time and patience your new beagle can be a wonderful family member. However as our schedules change and we become busy then they are left out, broken hearted and looking for someone to love them. Please make sure you are ready to adopt you new family member. Treat them as such with love, patience and understanding. TBBR Volunteer Cindy-- (Ezekiel) His mom
