Beagles terrorize Long Island town
Chris Spags Yes, you read that headline correctly…a vicious pack of beagles is running Long Islanders out of town, occasionally attacking people and overall striking fear into their cold hearts and bouffanted Long Island hair.
A report in the New York Post chronicles how some Long Island residents have been approached by the beagles, consisting primarily of abandoned former hunting dogs. It’s common practice for a hunter to let an “underperforming” beagle go.
Mattituck resident Dot Faszczewski came face to face with the canine menace two weeks ago, when she was set upon by a group of crazed, hungry beagles as she walked her pet dogs near her parents’ Orient Point home.
She said it was like a scene from a werewolf movie.
“They were barking so ferociously that I thought they were going to attack my dogs,” she said of the Jan. 16 scare.
“I grabbed the two dogs and ran inside,” she said. “I just closed the door when they jumped at the door, and they broke that aluminum portion underneath.”
The attack happened in a flash. It was only when the 61-year-old dog lover was safely inside that she made the shocking realization her howling attackers weren’t coyotes or Rottweilers, but were three frothing, short-legged, brown-and-white beagles.
Beagles are so adorable, it’s heartbreaking to read that they’ve turned to a life of crime. But it’s kind of understandable…the hunters trained them to be vicious, then just got sick of them or didn’t think they were doing a good job, so they let them go. What else is a hungry puppy with rage issues going to do? They join a gang, barking and intimidating, fighting with other gangs consisting of poodles and rottweilers and cocker spaniels. Until one day, at a gathering of all the dog gangs, they’re accused of killing Cyrus and then have to fight their way back to Coney Island. I assume that bichon frises would be playing the role of the Baseball Furies.
Some of the feral dogs have been put up for adoption with the kennels saying that the dogs can be rehabilitated. So if you’ve ever dreamed of owning a version of Snoopy that might maul you in your sleep since your snoring sounds like a duck, by all means. Poor pups.
