A Cocker Spaniel Stands in a Milk Puddle and Looks Up at You

AI imagecocker spanielcaught in the actspilled milk

White milk fans out across the tile in a wide puddle, with little splashes flicking away from a tipped carton, and a buff Cocker Spaniel stands right in the middle with all four paws wet. His long, wavy ears hang down, his brown eyes look straight up, and he has the most innocent expression a dog has ever managed. A basket, a potted plant, and a pair of sneakers sit in the background of the kitchen.

Cocker Spaniels are friendly, cheerful dogs with silky ears and a gentle, eager-to-please nature. They are happiest close to their families, and they are known for wagging their whole bodies. Those long ears are also lovely at collecting anything on the floor, including milk, so wipe them gently with a damp cloth after a spill. Milk is not harmful to every dog, but many adults cannot digest it well, and it can cause gas or an upset stomach. Spilled milk can also sour quickly, so mop it up soon. Check his ears regularly, since the long, heavy ears can trap moisture and may need extra care, and ask your vet about cleaning them. If he drank a lot of milk and seems uncomfortable, call your vet.

He stands in the puddle like a little statue, waiting for the verdict. With that face, he has almost certainly already won.
