Good thing Hairy's not a black Lab. They'll eat anything.
Case in point: when I was kid, my mother took a four-pound roast out of the oven and set it on the counter to cool before slicing. She turned her back for no more than fifteen or twenty seconds, and when she looked again, the roast was gone.
All of it. Not even a drop of juice remained. We never figured out how that dog avoided scorching his entire mouth, throat, esophagus and stomach.
We also had a Cocker Spaniel who would sit in front of the oven window, and 'sing' to a roasting turkey.
LOL! Years ago, we were living in a mobile home after our house burned... 2 adults, 2 preschoolers, a newborn baby and a dog. Yeah, it was crowded! My mom came down a lot to help out. One evening, we had just finished supper and were sitting on the couch resting for a minute before starting to put the food away and clean up. We'd had a nice rolled roast, and there was about 3# left for sandwiches, etc.
Jackie was a rescue Black and Tan and Plott hound mix... sweet dog, but dumber than a box of hammers. I'd found her in our back field, pregnant and with a broken hip. 1 week before the pups were born, she was hit by a car and broke the other hip! So, she was a house dog even though there was no room!
The couch was situated so anyone walking to the back bedrooms almost had to sidle past it- those trailers are cramped!
So... we go back to the kitchen about 10 minutes later- no roast! WTF?! Looked all over... then realized Jackie had politely sidled by us when we were sitting there..somehow, we didn't see the 3# roast in her mouth!
Currently, Prince is a counter surfer if the food value is high enough. I could put a sirloin steak down in front of Dixie, tell her to "leave it" and she wouldn't touch it for a week.
