Harold and Bev Went Looking for the Perfect Pumpkin. Duke Led the Way.

Pumpkins are scattered all through the patch beside the house, glowing orange among tangled green vines and dry stalks. Harold, in a cap and a cream cable-knit sweater, and Bev, in her matching sweater with a green quilted vest, stroll hand in hand down the row, smiling at each other. Duke leads the way, trotting ahead with his mouth open in a wide, happy grin, his tall fawn frame making even the biggest pumpkins look small. Mums in pots brighten the porch, a wreath hangs on the door, and a lantern glows by the entrance.

Autumn outings are a wonderful time to bring a dog along, with cooler temperatures that are kinder to big breeds. Plain cooked pumpkin is often used in small amounts as a dog-friendly treat, but raw pumpkin stems, leaves, and rinds are tough to digest, and carved pumpkins left outside can grow mold that may make a dog sick. Decorative corn, gourds, and fall-scented candles are worth keeping out of reach too. Great Danes are tall enough to reach tables and porch railings, so harvest displays should be placed thoughtfully. A leash and some fresh water make any farm or patch visit safer and more relaxed.

Harold and Bev may be looking for the perfect pumpkin, but Duke has already found what he loves best: a sunny fall afternoon and his two favorite people right behind him.
