Red Dachshund sitting among scattered potato chips and a torn foil bag on a living room floor, looking sideways. 8 / 28

A Red Dachshund Sits in a Spill of Crunchy Potato Chips

AI imagedachshundpotato chipsliving room

Golden potato chips are strewn across the floor like fallen leaves, and the red Dachshund sits in the middle of them with his long nose pointed to the side and his ears hanging low. A shiny foil bag has been torn open next to him, and there are chips between his paws and across the floor behind him. His brown eyes slide toward the camera with a look that says the bag was already open when he got there.

Dachshunds are small, bold, curious dogs with long bodies and big personalities, and they were originally bred to hunt badgers, which explains their determined, nose-first approach to life. They are also known for being clever food finders, and a bag on a low table does not stand a chance. Chips are salty and greasy, and not good for dogs, since too much salt or fat can upset their stomachs, and some flavors contain onion or garlic, which are unsafe. Because of their long backs, Dachshunds should also stay at a healthy weight, and many vets recommend keeping them lean to protect their spines. If your dog eats a lot of a snack, call your vet.

He is clearly proud of his find, even if he knows he should not be. The vacuum will get a workout, and he will get a gentle lecture and a healthier treat. He will probably still look for the next bag.
