This is Veto, the four-legged love of my life. Why is he named Veto? Well, my fiance is a cat person and tried to veto us getting the dog... Obviously, that did not work. By the way; he takes the puppy to work with him almost daily, teaches him tricks, and I'm pretty sure the puppy likes him better (funny how that works, eh?). Our goal is to get this guy Canine Good Citizen certified, which should not be difficult considering that he is SMART. He stays (and if you drop a treat in front of him, he won't budge), sits, shakes, lays down, dies when you say "BANG", rolls over, speaks, and pops up onto his hind legs if you say "up". He has already been on a road trip across the US with no issue, and has even flown. There's not a single thing I cannot do with this dog........ Except trim his nails. He goes full psycho on me and needs a muzzle; I guess we all have something, right?
His litter was an "oopsie" that happened when a friend of a friend's female dog got loose in their neighborhood. They came to a yard sale my mom and I were having and showed us puppy pictures. I saw this dog's picture and HAD to go meet him. The rest is history. It's funny; my first dog as a little girl was a $50 mutt puppy that my mom and dad got me. Fitting that as an adult, I should find myself once again loving a $50 mutt. My best friend took home a female from the litter, so we have sibling dogs <3
His mom is Beagle/Dachshund and they are pretty sure the dad is a Chihuahua that they had seen roaming around the neighborhood.
I've dealt with more than a few dogs from each of those breeds and beagles seem to be pretty quick on the uptake when it comes to learning stuff. 
But she was a sweet, gentle girl, and always so...cheerful/happy. She wasn't nervous about anything, thunder and fireworks didn't phase her in the slightest. She was good with kids, and other animals...never snapped at anyone.
