Adorable Dog Proudly Shows His Mom The Mess He Made While She Was Gone
J.J. may look like the kind of dog who can do no wrong, but this beagle mix has a talent for turning a quiet afternoon into a disaster zone. Casey Lewis thought she had everything covered before heading to work, yet the mess waiting for her at home told a very different story.
Lewis met J.J. while volunteering at the Norfolk SPCA in Virginia, and the adoption was basically instant. Three years later, the pair are still happily together, even if J.J. has a habit of testing every boundary in the house.
This time, his proud little grin said it all, and the cleanup was only the beginning.
The "naughty" dog himself:

All that destruction will exhaust a dog.

A few days ago, Lewis had to go to work but couldn't take J.J. to dog daycare.
She went off to work that day, hoping that she would not find her house in a total mess. Her hopes were all in vain...
"What I found when I got home was a MESS," Lewis said. "He'd torn six boxes into shreds of various sizes, from recognizable to fingernail-sized. He'd also pulled down the wooden baby gate in the kitchen and managed to move the storage tower that held it in place. A large chunk had broken off an already-broken corner of the gate. I was lucky he didn't decide to go for the trash."
This is also what happens when a ransacked apartment follows a dog’s clever escape, leaving the owner to clean up everything.
That's when the cleanup became impossible to ignore.
Doesn't your heart melt for dog smiles?

As Lewis watched in disbelief at the mess she now had to tidy up, J.J. stood there self-importantly with the biggest smile. He was obviously very excited to reveal the "contemporary art project" he'd finished while she was gone.
"He's always proud of his messes-'guilty beagle' is an oxymoron," Lewis told the reporters.
Eventually, Lewis cleaned up the mess J.J. made, fully aware that there would be many more similar incidents in the future. The dog just loves to discover and express himself, and even though it can get messy sometimes, it's all part of his charm.
J.J. clearly thinks the evidence speaks for itself.
