FYI,
Beagles don't usually leave anything to bring home in a doggy bag. They're more of an "Eat it while it's here" sort of creature. Afterwards, they tend to lay on their side and moan, hoping for some quiet and a light belly rub.
It's at that moment when they appear to the untrained eye to be the most vulnerable. Sure, they may not be able to run fast or jump very high, but they are still very protective of their food. Sometimes, a would-be self-proclaimed "becan sharing agent" will learn a hard lesson. They'll have time to consider the fundamental errors in their assumptions during their convalescence.
The moral of the story is to always make sure you have a naive accomplice who will draw the Beagle away from his becan stash, and then function as a large and very loud chew toy. One additional note is to remember that Beagles tend to operate in pairs so, next time, bring a second naive accomplice.
On a positive note, I'm expected to make a full recovery.
