Article about Beagles

There was an article in the Austin Statesman on February 18, about whether or not a Beagle is a good dog to have as a pet. You can take a look at http://www.statesman.com/blogs/content/shared-gen/blogs/austin/consumer/entries/2008/02/18/is_a_beagle_right_for_your_fam_1.html. I first thought, is this really news. I then noticed that the article is pretty much just a repressing of an article that appeared in Newsday. This article pretty much just consists of quoting most of that article. With my opinion aside, it's funny that this spurred 5 people to comment. Less than half of the articles which allow comments, get commented on. This article got comments when other, more hard hitting, topics did not. The comments are all just about how much people like their beagles.
