A Beagle Named Sniffer

The beagle with a brown tail really stood out
for his high intelligence and good behavior; 
he looked up to me as his rescuer and savior,
he was well-loved by me, he had no doubt.   

I sought a related name for his sniffing cognition, 
" Sniffer " seemed the perfect one I deemed;
very remarkable was his sensory perception,
I was stunned by this beautiful and gifted breed.   

Out into the empty baseball field we often went,
I threw my hard ball and he caught it instantly;
I sat down and he ran to me breathing heavily
and licking my face, he smeared it with his scent.

The beagle with a long brown tail was rarely quite;
he had gorgeous eyes more brilliant than a lapis stone;
they winked and shone while I fetched his cookie bone...
many afternoons we chased rabbits to beguile time.
