We have all experienced that tempting desire to peek into a bag when someone returns from a shopping trip, and it seems like this lovable beagle puppy is no exception. Instead of waiting patiently to see what’s inside, four-month-old Tucker decided to take matters into his own paws. In a adorable video, Tucker, who resides with his owners Natalia Marciniak and Richard Parkin in Milton Keynes, can be seen eagerly diving into a plastic Lidl bag, presumably in search of some delicious treats.
Despite Natalia’s attempts to move him away, Tucker continues to poke his head into the bag. Determined and persistent, the puppy then grabs onto the bag’s handles with his front paws and walks alongside Natalia on his hind legs. In his mischievous playfulness, Tucker even starts nibbling at the back of the bag as he clumsily makes his way forward.
Tucker eagerly anticipates whether his owner Natalia Marciniak from Milton Keynes has picked up a special treat or two for him during her shopping trips. The charming 13-second video was posted on Tucker’s personal Twitter account @Tucker_beagle on November 3, giving his adoring fans a chance to admire him. His mischievous antics are also showcased on his Instagram page @beaglemcmuffin, where the playful pup never fails to entertain. This beloved beagle has brought immense joy to his owners, particularly Natalia’s boyfriend Richard, who works at the head office of Mercedes Benz in town.
The little pup clung onto the handles with his front paws and strolled on his hind legs next to Natalia on the sidewalk. Despite Richard’s initial reluctance to own a dog, Natalia, who adored dogs, observed his struggles with depression, loneliness, and anxiety during lockdown. Seeing the impact on his well-being, she took a chance and decided to surprise him by welcoming Tucker into their home.
Tucker has gained popularity on social media, with his own active Twitter and Instagram accounts where he enjoys interacting with his devoted followers. Initially hesitant, he quickly embraced the idea and now sees Tucker as his top priority. Since joining their family in July, the two have been inseparable. Natalia mentioned, “He is completely smitten with Tucker!”
Initially, Natalia’s partner Richard was hesitant to commit to taking care of a pet, but now he has completely fallen in love with the idea.
Occasionally, all the socializing and fun can get exhausting. Tucker is currently taking a break at his place in Milton Keynes. “Initially, he was mad that I went against his wishes, but ever since we got him, his anxiety and stress have vanished, and he seems so much more content,” said the owner. “It was a bold move on my part, but it paid off in the end.” Pet specialists have always emphasized the positive impacts of having pets, like dogs and cats, on reducing stress, anxiety, and depression, as well as combating loneliness and promoting physical activity and fun.
