The Kibble Bag Was Ripped Wide Open. The Newfoundland Has Never Seen It Before.

AI imagenewfoundlandcaught in the actdog food

A paper bag of dog food lies on its side, torn wide open, with kibble spilling across the hardwood floor in a little brown landslide. Right next to it rests a huge chocolate-brown Newfoundland, his thick, wavy coat glowing in the evening light. He has turned his big head away from the mess and gazes off to the side with soulful amber eyes, the picture of a dog who has never seen that bag before in his life. Behind him, a hallway leads to a front door, with shoes, a backpack, and a flannel shirt hanging on a hook.

Newfoundlands are giant, gentle dogs originally bred to work alongside fishermen and haul nets, and they are famous for their love of water and their sweet temperament. Like other large, deep-chested breeds, they are at higher risk for bloat, also called GDV, a serious emergency in which the stomach fills with gas and can twist. Gulping a huge amount of food at once is one thing owners try to avoid, which makes a raided food bag more than a cleanup issue. Storing kibble in a sealed, sturdy bin helps. Signs like a swollen belly, restlessness, drooling, or trying to vomit without bringing anything up mean a trip to the vet right away.

Thankfully, this big fellow seems more embarrassed than uncomfortable. A sealed container and a well-earned nap should settle things nicely.
