Ex-lab Beagle Making Good Progress.
About four months ago, I posted about the 3-year old beagle, Sam, who my wife and I fostered and then adopted though the Beagle Freedom Project. After four months, he is coming out of his shell and beginning to find his inner beagle.
Since spring has arrived, he's getting two long walks per day, and is progressing in his house training. He has met more people and dogs, and isn't shying away from everything so much. Tonight, for the first time, while lying next to me on the sofa, he sniffed my hand for a long time, then licked it.
He spent the past three years in a small cage in a lab somewhere, being used for some kind of testing. He's finally learning that nothing like that will ever happen to him again. I'm fencing the back yard in May, so he can run more freely.

Best to Sam and thanks to you and your wife for taking this wonderful little guy in and giving him the life he deserves.
Hope you can share some pictures of him at some point.
a device that makes it hard to post images, but here's one:
Dude, our beagle/basset, is in front. Sam, the lab rescue beagle is in back.
