This dog knows before anyone else when food has been dropped;

is always first on the scene;

and he’s generally got whatever it is half-way in his mouth before I say he can have it.

… i think i’ll get him a yellow flashing light for his collar next birthday.

    Ours could differentiate the crinkle of something containing cheese compared to any other crinkle coming from the kitchen, and would trot around the corner like she expected to see everyone in there shovelling cheese into their face and she was free to take part, when that would only actually happen about 25% of the time.

      Ha, cheese addiction has gotta be a thing with dogs.

      My dog knows the sound the cheese container makes very well. That fuckers come in from outside when we’ve got that container out in the past.

      I’ve stopped giving him cheese now, (i think i read its toxic for dogs), so he doesn’t care so much about when we get it out. I wonder if the sound gives him happy reminiscences though?

        I wouldn’t say it’s toxic, but many dogs are lactose intolerant, and cheese tends to be high in fat which can lead to pancreatitis if given too much or too frequently.
