Where’s my treat? Cheeky beagle puppy Tucker sticks his head into owner’s shopping bag and won’t let go
- The pup is eager to find out if owner Natalia Marciniak has bought him a treat
- Four-month-old Tucker also wants to give his owner a helping hand with the bag
- The beagle has helped its owners alleviate stress and anxiety during lockdown
We all know that familiar urge to nosily dive into a bag when someone has been on a shopping spree.
And looks like this cute little beagle puppy is no different.
But while most of us would wait patiently until we’re shown the contents of the bag, Tucker was not in the mood to waste any time.
The four-month-old pup dived head first into the plastic Lidl bag presumably to discover whether his owner Natalia Marciniak had got him anything.
As Natalia tries to gently shoo him away, Tucker again sticks his head in the bag trying to find a treat.
Not one to give up easily, the puppy then attaches himself onto the handles with his front paws as he uses his hind legs to continue to walk as if wanting to help his owner share the load as they walked along the pavement.

The adorable 13-second clip has been shared on Tucker’s own Twitter page @Tucker_beagle for his fans to coo at.
And he’s causing quite a sensation on his Instagram page @beaglemcmuffin too which shows the playful pup getting up to all sorts of mischief.
The much-loved beagle has had a tremendous positive affect on its owners – especially Natalia’s boyfriend.

Natalia said despite loving dogs, her partner didn’t want to take on the responsibility of owning and looking after one.
But during lockdown, her boyfriend became depressed, lonely and anxious.
Noticing the change in his behaviour, Natalia decided to take a gamble and surprise him by bringing Tucker home.
Tucker is quite a hit on social media and has his own Twitter and Instagram pages and loves entertaining his army of fans
Annoyed at first, it didn’t take her partner long to come round to the idea and now considers Tucker to be his number one priority
In fact, the pair are inseparable since Tucker became an addition to their family at their home in Milton Keynes when he was just eight weeks old in July.
Natalia said: ‘He is absolutely obsessed with Tucker!

‘At first he was upset I went behind his back but since we’ve had him his anxiety and stress disappeared and he’s much happier.
‘My plan was risky but it worked.’
Experts have long said pets, especially dogs and cats, can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, ease loneliness, encourage exercise and playfulness.
