Science Concept & Application
Most of the time we study beagles because they are generally docile and don’t usually fight back because they like to be considered part of the family. That is also why they are often used in medical research opposed to other dogs. People have been using them in medical research for over a century.
Their keen sense of smell and small size makes them a good option for police dogs. They are used to sniff out drugs, bombs and food. In airport conveyor lines their size helps them fit in compact spaces. They use their keen sense of smell to help detect illegal items capable of causing a life threatening outbreak. Most people use beagles for hunting because of their perseverance in the tracking game and also because of their small size and energy. They often help hunt rabbits, game birds and foxes. They started being trained to hunt in 400 BC in Greece. |
Career
A veterinarian is a physician for household pets, farm animals and other wildlife with illnesses that might include injury, trauma, heartworm and rabies. They use a variety of machines and instruments such as anesthesia machines, veterinary ultrasounds and IV pumps while treating more serious cases. Just like a doctor who treats individuals as you or I for bumps, bruises or simple illnesses, veterinarians perform similar actions for any creature that God put on Earth.
