A Bernese Mountain Dog Sits Beside His Enormous Pile of Shoes

AI imagebernese mountain dogchewed shoeshallway

The shoes have been pulled from the rack and heaped into a pile, and the tricolor Bernese Mountain Dog is sitting right next to them with his ears relaxed and his eyes slightly lowered. His black, white, and rust coat is glossy and thick, and his big dark eyes look a little sorry. A pair of blue flip-flops, a leather sandal, and a few chewed sneakers are scattered across the hallway floor by the door.

Bernese Mountain Dogs are large, gentle, affectionate dogs who were bred as farm helpers in the Swiss Alps, and they are known for their calm, sweet natures. They love being near their families, and may chew when they are lonely or bored. Shoes are a common target because they smell strongly of their owners and are the right size to grab. Keeping shoes in a closet and offering sturdy chew toys can help, and puppies especially need plenty of safe things to chew while they are teething. Chewed shoes can leave pieces that might be swallowed, so talk to your vet if your dog eats part of one. Bernese also need regular exercise and companionship.

He is probably hoping that the shoes taste better than they look. He has a gentle face and a big heart, and the family will be forgiving. Maybe he was just trying to make sure everyone stays home.
