Dessert Has Been Sampled. The Evidence Is on the Husky's Nose.
Dessert has been sampled, and the evidence is sitting right on the end of a very pointy nose. A red and white Siberian Husky stands at the kitchen counter with a big dollop of whipped cream perched on its snout and a few white specks on its chin and whiskers. Right beside it, a golden lattice-topped pie sits in a glass dish with a large chunk missing from the side, its fruit filling exposed. The dog's warm copper-and-white face looks sideways with amber eyes full of guilt. Behind it, wooden cabinets, jars, bananas, a dish towel, and a steel thermos fill the cozy kitchen.
Huskies are athletic, social dogs bred for endurance, and they are well known for being clever problem solvers, which includes figuring out how to reach counters. They thrive with lots of exercise and mental challenges. When it comes to pie, whipped cream is not toxic in small amounts, but it is rich and dairy can upset many dogs' stomachs. Some pie fillings carry bigger risks. Grapes and raisins can be very harmful to dogs, nutmeg should be avoided, and sugar-free desserts may contain xylitol, which is dangerous. If a dog eats a large portion of dessert, talk to your vet.
That whipped cream nose deserves an award for honesty. This husky did not even try to hide the crime, and frankly, it looks like it would do it all again for another bite.
