Dakota also know as Cody Bear, Beagle But, Herder of Cats and so many other names. The most important title you had was protector of my daughter. She adopted you when you were only 3 years old and she was living out of state by herself for the first time. From the beginning, you were her dog, her protector and her friend. For more than 12 years I never worried about her being alone because you were there and you would protect her above everything else. You loved the snow, especially when it was beagle belly deep. You loved to roll on earth worms to get the good 'perfume' on you. In your younger days, you hated all bicycles and believed they all must be eaten. Thank you for always taking care of her. Thank you for keeping the cats in line. Thank you for keeping me company while I worked. Thank you for being such a good dog. We miss you! The house is too quiet without the beagle bark. God bless and keep you, we will see you again. Love you old man!
