A Border Collie Wrapped Like a Burrito Sits Inches From the Pumpkin Pie

AI imageborder colliehalloweenpumpkin pie

Wrapped up like a burrito in a chunky orange knit blanket, a red and white Border Collie sits at the dining table with only its fluffy head peeking out. Its gaze has drifted ever so slightly toward the golden pumpkin pie resting on a plate just inches away. Little white and orange pumpkins line the table, a set of keys and a folded green napkin lie nearby, and a jack-o'-lantern grins from a shelf in the cozy living room behind. The whole scene glows with warm, harvest-season light.

Pumpkin pie is a fall favorite, but it is not a good snack for dogs. Plain cooked or canned pumpkin with nothing added is generally safe in small amounts, but pie filling usually contains sugar, spices such as nutmeg and other ingredients that can upset a dog's stomach, along with a buttery crust that is far too rich. Some pumpkin pie spice blends and baked goods may even contain xylitol, which is very dangerous for dogs. During the holidays, keep pies and treats pushed back from table edges and counters. If your dog does sneak something questionable, call your vet for advice.

This Border Collie looks like the very picture of good manners, at least for the moment. Wrapped in a warm blanket on a chilly fall evening, it is clearly enjoying the season, pie or no pie.
