I have a beagle who is approaching 8 years and he is fine staying home for 8 or more hours. What he does when hes alone? No one knows, but he hasn't had a problem since his puppy days. Also have a cat so maybe they do a little partying once everyone leaves in the am, but my guess it that they both sleep a lot and look out the window a lot. I wouldn't advise leaving a young dog home alone for that long, but an older dog can usually handle it fine. It is also good to ease them into it.

Duncan, the beagle, still gets confused when my folks have a weekday off. After he goes out and eats in the am he runs back upstairs to bed. Quite humorous actually.
