Logan and Abigail Fabrizio were astonished to discover two beagle puppies when they saw four little black eyes poking out from the weeds along the side of the road.
These puppies might belong to someone in the area, they reasoned.
They were shocked to discover the puppies were still there, scared and abandoned, a few days later. The pair was aware of their obligations.
“We could tell they were abandoned,” Logan Fabrizio said.
The two sprang into action, persuading the second beagle out after initially tempting the first one out with a hot dog. Gaining the trust of these fearful puppies who had been left alone was difficult, but the Fabrizios were up to the challenge.
“You could tell they were very scared,” Fabrizio said.
The Fabrizios bathed the beagles once they were safe at home and removed almost 20 ticks from just their ears.

It was immediately evident that the couple was developing feelings for the little beagles. They gave them the family names Remi and Riley and adopted them.
The beagles are more trusting and grateful to have a family who loves them now, one month after their rescue.
“They are loving it,” remarked Fabrizio. “Hogging the bed, running all over the furniture, and exploring the 10 acres we are on.”
The distinct personalities of the beagles are starting to emerge. Riley is more daring and enjoys paddle surfing and exploring, while Remi is a little more cautious but adores cuddling and ear scratching, the pair discovered.
The Fabrizios are still unsure of the beagles’ actual origins, but they are grateful that they were able to reunite because the puppies have been a wonderful addition to the family.
Fabrizio stated that “[The dogs] definitely changed some day-to-day habits and rearranged some of our priorities. But, overall, I believe our lives have been changed for the better since we found these two.”
