Grandma Was Baking Cookies. One Pup Already Had Flour on Its Nose.

AI imagesiberian huskybakingkitchen

A tray of round, golden cookie dough sits on the counter, and Ruth is pressing each one flat with her fingertips, silver hair pinned up in a loose bun and glasses perched on her nose. Her cream knitted cardigan has a little flour on the sleeves. She has two very attentive helpers. Copper, her red and white Siberian Husky, stands tall at the end of the counter, nose just inches from the tray and pale eyes fixed on the dough. Down lower, a smaller tan and white pup peeks over the edge with a dusting of flour across its muzzle, proof that some sampling has already happened. Family photos and a cozy living room glow behind them.

Huskies are known for being friendly, energetic and famously food motivated, with a mischievous streak that makes counter surfing a real possibility. Raw cookie dough is a concern for dogs because uncooked flour and raw eggs can carry germs, and dough with yeast can expand in the stomach. Many recipes also include ingredients that are unsafe for dogs, like chocolate, raisins, macadamia nuts or the sweetener xylitol, which sometimes shows up in certain peanut butters. If you like baking for your dog, there are plenty of simple recipes made just for them, and checking every label for xylitol is a smart habit. If a dog eats raw dough, talk to your vet promptly.

The cookies will soon be in the oven, and Ruth's two little quality inspectors are not going anywhere until they are done.
