Fantastic Mr. Fox is a new stop-motion animated movie based on Roald Dahl's classic book for kids of the same title. The movie's full of fun and animal "facts," but are all these facts for real?
According to Fantastic Mr. Fox, beagles love blueberries. Is that true? Nope, according to Lisa Peterson of the American Kennel Club. "Most dogs don't like fruit at all." So what do beagles like to eat when they're not eating dog food provided by their owners? "Poop for sure, the fresher the better--usually someone else's, but quite often their own. And I have one [beagle] that digs up grub worms and eats them. They also like any paper products, and if they don't eat them, they will tear them up," adds Janelle Holmes, a Texas-based beagle breeder.
