Golden autumn light slants through the orchard, catching the red apples still hanging from the branches. Frank and Dottie kneel beneath a tree in their cream cable-knit sweaters, Frank holding a wicker basket already brimming with shiny fruit while Dottie adds one more, its leaf still attached. Both are grinning. In front of them, Biscuit is busy with his own harvest, nose pressed to a fallen apple in the grass, ears perked and focus total. Windfalls are scattered all around him, half hidden among dry leaves, and rows of fruit trees fade into the warm haze behind them.

An orchard is a feast of smells for a dog, but fallen fruit can cause trouble. A small piece of apple flesh is generally fine for most dogs, but apple seeds, cores, and stems contain compounds that can be harmful in quantity, and whole apples can be a choking risk. Fermenting windfalls may also upset a dog's stomach and tend to attract bees and wasps. Keep your dog close, discourage scavenging, and bring water for the outing. If you'd like to share, offer a thin slice without seeds as an occasional treat, and remember Corgis put on weight easily, so even healthy snacks count.

Biscuit may be more interested in sniffing than picking, but he's clearly enjoying the hunt. With a full basket and a happy dog, it's been a fine day in the orchard.
