The Nose Knows!

Barney is the kind of beagle who could lead an entire expedition with nothing but his snout and sheer determination. A certified scent detective and full-time nose enthusiast, Barney lives life one sniff at a time - and he's never off duty.

From sunrise to snack time (which is all the time, really), Barney’s days are ruled by the invisible trails that only he can follow. The breeze? Suspicious. The couch cushion? Possibly harbouring secrets. The neighbour’s wheelie bin three doors down? A veritable novel of aromas.

His nose is so finely tuned it’s almost magical. Some say he once located a rogue sausage roll behind the fridge - three houses away. Barney didn’t just find it - he earned it. With a focused snuffle and a head tilt that said, “I’ve got this.”

But don’t let the detective work fool you. Once his olfactory investigations are complete, Barney transforms into a professional napper. The snores? Deep, rhythmic, and entirely unbothered. Like a jazz saxophone wrapped in a doona.

This portrait captures one of Barney’s most iconic moves: The Nose Zoom. No filter. No subtlety. Just pure, joyful snout-forward curiosity - expressive, exaggerated and entirely unapologetic. Those wide eyes? Always calculating. That snout? Always leading the way.

Barney doesn’t just explore the world. He inhales it.

Whether you're walking him through a bustling market, a quiet park, or just your backyard, Barney will remind you that even the smallest things have a story worth sniffing out. And if you ever lose your way - don't worry. Just follow the nose.

Dream it, paint it!
