Beagles rescued from Midwest laboratory explore yard for first time in Twin Cities

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. — On average, nearly 60,000 dogs are used in experiments each year in the United States, according to the Animal Humane Society.

The Canadian nonprofit The Beagle Alliance brought three of the dogs back to Manitoba Monday, making a stop in Bloomington at a volunteer's home on the way. This is where the 3-year-old pups got to experience a grass-filled yard for the very first time.
