Somebody Decided to Help With the Baking. The Kitchen Did Not Survive.

Somebody decided to help with the baking. A salt and pepper Miniature Schnauzer stares straight ahead with dark, unblinking eyes, his bushy beard and eyebrows thoroughly coated in white flour. There is flour on his ears, flour on his nose, and flour drifting across the countertop in a fine snowy layer. A torn sack slumps open on one side, a mixing bowl and spoon sit abandoned nearby, and a blue dish towel is crumpled in the mess. Behind him, wooden cabinets, a stack of plates, and the sink all wear their own dusting of powder.

Plain flour is not toxic to dogs, though eating a lot of it can upset the stomach, and breathing in clouds of it is not great for anyone. The bigger concern in a baking kitchen is raw dough. Uncooked yeast dough can keep rising inside a dog's warm stomach, causing painful bloating, and as the yeast ferments it produces alcohol, which can make a dog seriously ill. Other baking ingredients like chocolate, raisins, macadamia nuts, and xylitol are also dangerous. If your dog gets into raw dough or any of those ingredients, contact your vet right away.

Thankfully, this schnauzer seems to have stuck to the flour. He now looks like a very small, very serious snowman, and his expression suggests he has no regrets. If anything, he appears ready to ask what is next on the recipe.
