Harry recently received a unexpected present from another puppy walker – the most enormous bone we’ve ever seen.
Last night, after a spell of obedience work, we gave him this gigantic treat. We fully expected Harry to smack his lips and plunge straight in, but instead he approached it as if it were an alien from outer space.
After circling it a few times, he barked at it once, lay down and eyed it very cautiously. After a while he wriggled closer to it but continued to stare at it suspiciously, as if it would disappear if he so much as blinked. Closer and closer he crept, until eventually his nose was almost touching it. And there he stayed for quite a while, just staring at it, totally overwhelmed by his good fortune. Finally, he could contain himself no more and dived in, totally delirious with pleasure.
Harry remained in a state of total rapture for over 2 hours, only raising his head a couple of times to check we were still in the room. Not that he really cared.
