The Homemade Bread Has a Dog-Shaped Bite in It. The Weimaraner Is Looking Away.

A round, crusty loaf of homemade bread sits on the kitchen counter with a large, dog-shaped bite taken out of one end. Crumbs are scattered everywhere, and the butter dish nearby has a suspicious smear. Standing with both front paws planted on the counter, a silver grey Weimaraner stretches to full height and turns his head away toward the window, amber eyes fixed on something, anything, other than the bread. His sleek coat shines in the late afternoon light. Fresh herbs, a set of keys, garlic bulbs, a glass of water, and a pair of reading glasses round out the scene of interrupted lunch prep.

Weimaraners are athletic hunting dogs from Germany, known for their striking grey coats and pale eyes. They are smart, energetic, and deeply attached to their families, so much so that many owners call them velcro dogs. A Weimaraner without enough exercise or company can become restless and inventive, and their height makes counters an easy target. Plain baked bread is not usually dangerous in small amounts, but raw yeast dough is a different story. It can expand in a dog's stomach and produce alcohol as it ferments, which makes it a true emergency. Garlic and onions are also unsafe, so keep them well out of reach.

This Weimaraner has managed to stay remarkably dignified for a dog caught with crumbs on his chin. Perhaps next time the bread will be cooling on top of the fridge.
