A tricolor Jack Russell Terrier sits wide-eyed on a tile floor beside two ripped paper bags and scattered dog food kibble. 18 / 39

The Jack Russell Opened the Food Bags and Couldn't Believe It

AI imagejack russell terrierdog foodkitchen

Two paper bags lie torn open on the tile, and brown kibble has poured out across the floor in a wide fan. Beside them sits a tricolor Jack Russell Terrier with a black patch over one eye, round, startled eyes and folded ears. A woven rug and a laundry basket sit in the doorway behind. He is frozen in place, hoping nobody enters.

Jack Russell Terriers are bright, bold, high-energy dogs, originally bred for fox hunting. They are very smart and athletic, and they can jump surprisingly high for their size. That intelligence and strength mean a Jack Russell can open or tear into things that other dogs would leave alone, so food is often stored in sealed containers. Overeating can upset a dog's stomach, and a large amount of food in one go is worth a call to your vet.

A sturdy, lidded bin for food solves most of these problems, and a scheduled meal routine helps, too. Because Jack Russells need a lot of exercise, daily runs and training games keep them content.

His expression is very serious, as if he is explaining that the bags were already open. It was a huge meal for a small dog, and he now has a very busy evening ahead of him. Jack Russells are also famous for energy, so a long game of fetch after cleanup will be very welcome.
