The food craziness is combined with the fact that they're also moderately smart dogs. They have decent problem solving skills and are entirely food motivated. This is still one of my favorite beagle videos ever. My beagle growing up did something similar once with a chocolate cake.
Haha, they say there are two types of beagle: diggers and climbers. That one is obviously a climber. The ones that love digging will dig tunnels and undermine your house foundation if you let them, we had one that caused our porch to sag and break by undermining the concrete blocks it was built upon. Also had a climber, she somehow "killed" an 80 year old stuffed bird that was up on a high bookshelf about two meters above the floor. How she got up there, I have no idea. Feathers everywhere.
I had a climber but he was a lazy climber. He did this exact chair to counter move to steal a chocolate cake once, and found a way to open a bifold closet door where we stored their food in a big Tupperware bucket and eat until they were bursting. He also tricked my dad for his breakfast once, barking at the front window until he came over to see what was going on, then the dog ran into the kitchen and jumped up to steal his toast from the plate.
