Put your beagle to work - snake edition

Posted on Thursday, Jan 4, 2007 at 11:54 AM in , ,

Instead of letting him sleep all day and generally lounge about, your beagle could be hunting pythons in the everglades with Python Pete. This can only end in tragedy when Pete ends up as a hungry python's mid-afternoon snack.

For the past few months Lori Oberhofer, an Everglades wildlife technician, has been training her seven-month-old puppy to pick up the scent of the invasive Burmese pythons.

Python Pete must not be keeping up with the latest fashions. Otherwise he would have changed his name to Ruby Pete!
