Most dogs love food, and are highly motivated by treats, but some are more food-obsessed than others.
Matilda, for instance, has a one-track mind. She’ll do anything for a crumb, and between meals she’s scouting every inch of the kitchen floor, looking for the tiniest morsel.
She sits under the table at mealtimes, a behavior I allow as long as she does not demand-bark during dinner, and she starts badgering me 30 minutes before her own scheduled meals.
Lately I’ve been wondering if this is anything other than part of her personality. I’d think it was normal if I didn’t have Cow, who loves food but doesn’t obsess over it….
