Great Danes will do that won’t they. I think it has something to do with the fact that everything is at their eye level or below. Mom’s GD loves butter. Sticks of it will disappear if you blink. Everyday is a battle of wills.
I used to train dogs for a living, so heard my fair share of stories about ingested items. But the best story was about a cat. A vet tech told me that somebody brought a sick cat in during the holiday season. The vet tech asked if the cat had eaten anything unusual. The owner said “no.” They gave the cat an X-ray and saw some anomalies. They performed surgery and removed a couple of ornaments and an entire string of Christmas lights from the cat’s stomach.
A friend’s cat was being driven crazy by the smell of turkey roasting. When they got ready to take it out of the oven, the cat jumped right in, on top of the turkey. She got burned, but she managed to rip off a huge hot peice.

Had a great dane many years ago who took out Thanksgiving turkey out of the sink without a second thought. Two years in a row.

Poor Koko. She should have said “good puppy, you waited” and then given him a small piece. No, my dogs were never spoiled.

Koko: take a lesson from Pooch Cafe. Poncho wouldn’t have hesitated.
