Daisy the dog, a sweet-faced, beagle-lab mix, got a very special Christmas gift this year, and not a moment too soon. On Dec. 9, Burnsville Patch posted a story about a 9-month-old, floppy-eared, beagle-lab mix named Daisy who was looking for an adoptive home. Eagan resident Christine O’Wheeler saw the pictures, read about the pooch’s affection for kids and cats, and became instantly smitten. “I knew that I had to have Miss Daisy!” O’Wheeler wrote in an email.
