So you’re going to the biggest Bastille Day celebration in the country this Saturday on Smith St. But what’s your dog *votre chien* doing to get in on the action? [AnimalTourism](http://animaltourism.com/news/2012/07/09/beagles-to-sing-in-prospect-park-on-bastille-day?ref=bklyner.com) and [FIDO Brooklyn](http://www.fidobrooklyn.org/?ref=bklyner.com) have got it covered:

> Moxie and Huckleberry, our two beagles, are hosting a what we hope will be the blow-out beagle event of the season: a meetup in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park on Saturday July 14.

> We’ll have a singing contest, a scent chase and any other beagle activities we can think of. We’re glomming onto the monthly coffee bark of FIDOBrooklyn.org, the dog group for the park; that means there’ll be free coffee, bagels and dog treats until 9 a.m., when off-leash hours end.

> Beagles aren’t snobs, so they invite all hounds and hound mixes. (And, in fact, the FIDO coffee bark always gets hundreds of dogs). Officially we’ve got 16 beagles coming on [the meetup site](http://www.meetup.com/beagle-pack/events/62285772/?ref=bklyner.com). But we expect many more because we’ve been handing out postcards to every potential hound we see.

> The singing contest is already shaping up to be a tough match. I only wish we could get a fire engine out on the Long Meadow. Just in the neighborhood are two contenders: George, a female coonhound, can be heard for many blocks on mornings when she yodels at the scent of rabbits. Meanwhile, Milligan, a one-eyed beagle, can bay on cue.

If there is a better way to celebrate the beginning of the French revolution, I cannot think of it.
