A laughing older man in a fishing vest holds a glass bowl of popcorn while a yellow Labrador sniffs into it. 39 / 40

The Movie Hadn't Even Started Yet. The Popcorn Was Already Under Investigation.

The couch is set up, a remote waits on the cushion, and a soft throw is draped over the arm. Movie night is officially on. Grandpa Gus sits forward holding a clear glass bowl piled high with popcorn, and he is laughing, eyes squeezed nearly shut, because Sunny has already stuck her nose straight into it. She looks perfectly innocent about the whole thing, sniffing intently as though she is just checking the quality. Framed family photos, bookshelves, and a few potted plants line the warm, lamp-lit living room behind them.

A few pieces of plain, air-popped popcorn with no butter, salt, or seasoning are generally considered fine for most dogs as an occasional snack. The movie-theater style is another matter. Butter, oil, and lots of salt can upset a dog's stomach, and flavored toppings may include garlic, onion powder, or other ingredients that are not safe for dogs. Unpopped kernels and the hard hulls can be a choking hazard or get stuck between teeth. If your Lab loves to share snack time, set aside a few plain pieces before you season the rest, or keep a dog-friendly chew handy so they have something of their own while you watch. Labradors are notorious for their love of food, so keep that bowl at a safe height.

Who gets the last handful is anyone's guess. Grandpa may have to make a second batch before the opening credits finish.
