Grandpa Reached for the Best Apple While Pearl Sniffed Below

AI imagepoodleapple orchardautumn

Grandpa stretches one arm high into the branches, his fingers just closing around a bright red apple. His olive cardigan is rumpled from the reach, and his eyes are fixed on the fruit with real concentration. Down below, Pearl the white Poodle keeps her nose low among the windfalls scattered across the grass, sniffing each one as though she were an inspector at an orchard. Rows of laden trees stretch behind them, and a wooden fence marks the edge of the field. The branches are heavy with fruit, and the afternoon looks crisp and golden.

Apples can be a healthy crunchy snack for many dogs when the flesh is sliced up in small pieces, but the seeds and core should be avoided, and fallen fruit that has started to rot or ferment should be kept away from your pet. A dog's nose is astonishingly powerful, so an orchard full of apples is a fascinating place for her. Before you offer anything new to eat, it is wise to talk to your vet about what suits your dog best.

Pearl will not be picking anything, but she is certainly doing her part by supervising. Grandpa gets the high ones, she gets the low ones, and between them nothing in the orchard escapes attention. A basket of apples may be waiting at the end of the day.
