Charles Schulz’s Peanuts comic strip features the world’s most famous Beagle, Snoopy.
Because of Snoopy, many people first fell in love with the breed. The comic strip even inspired two real-life Beagles to win Best in Show at a Westminster Kennel Club event. So, if you’re thinking of adopting a Beagle, don’t hesitate – to give it a try.
In the movie, the Easter Beagle comes to visit and delivers colored eggs to children, but doesn’t leave any for Charlie Brown. After the Great Pumpkin mishap on Halloween, Sally is skeptical about his claim. She tells Snoopy, “It’s the Easter Beagle!”
The Easter Beagle gives out eggs to everyone, including Woodstock and Peppermint Patty. They toss each egg to everyone they see, but Snoopy follows closely and snatches each egg as it lands. Eventually, the Easter Beagle gives Charlie Brown an empty basket full of eggs. Meanwhile, Marcie gets a delivery of eggs from Peppermint Patty. She is instructed to salt them and eat them!
Snoopy, meanwhile, has been forced into rancorous isolation by his packmates. When his human companions find him, they decide to give him a taste of human civilization. The human pack is furious, and Charlie Brown laments that Snoopy’s civilized lifestyle is not sustainable. But Charlie Brown reminds Snoopy that his life in the Great White North would have been much worse, with no time to eat five pizzas and fight a World War.
