BRIAN WILLIAMS, anchor: We've heard from a whole lot of you about the story that ended our broadcast last night. Dozens of beagles who have never dug a hole or chewed on a slipper or played in the grass before, they're now getting their first taste of freedom. These Beagles were rescued from a now shut down research lab in Spain , where they had spent their entire lives in cages being poked and prodded and tested. Can you believe that? They were flown to Los Angeles , where they will be nursed back to health and adopted. They're already doing better. If you'd like to help this effort known as the Beagle Freedom Project , we've put more information on that on our website, nbcnightlynews.com.
