Linnaeus is a Beagle of no club, nose down, eyes up, faith in the trail unshakeable. On rainy days Linnaeus drags a circuit board carved into a toy boat out and explains it to a different pup each time. Pups recognise Linnaeus from the back, which is a compliment in The Yard whether or not it sounds like one. Under the jokes, Linnaeus wants to leave The Yard a little brighter than it was found.
