Grandpa Otis Made Avocado Toast and Eggs. Bear Pulled Up a Spot.

Breakfast on the patio is a spread worth waking up for: avocado toast with scrambled eggs, a little dish of strawberries and blueberries, a mug of coffee, and a folded napkin with a knife and fork. Grandpa Otis sits at the table in a green cable-knit cardigan and a blue plaid shirt, smiling down at the plate as he reaches for a bite. Right at the table's edge sits Bear, head raised and eyes locked on that hand, every ounce of him radiating hope. Morning sun pours through the trees, lighting up the fence, the potted succulents, and a comfy chair cushioned with pillows.

Breakfast foods are a mixed bag for dogs. Plain cooked eggs are commonly shared as an occasional treat, and many dogs enjoy a few blueberries or a sliced strawberry. Avocado, on the other hand, is one to skip. The pit is a choking and blockage hazard, and the skin and flesh can upset a dog's stomach. Buttered toast, bacon, and other fatty foods aren't great either, since rich foods can lead to digestive trouble. If you'd like to share, a tiny bit of plain egg set aside before seasoning is a safer choice, and your vet can advise on treats that suit your dog.

Bear's patience is truly impressive. Otis just might set aside a bite of plain egg before the plate is clean.
