A Curly Little Dog Joined the Family for Breakfast Uninvited

AI imagehavanesebreakfastkitchen

The dark brown curly-haired dog has climbed right up to the kitchen table and rests his front paws on it, looking up with big, soulful eyes. In front of him are scrambled eggs, a buttery croissant, bowls of berries and jam, a stick of butter, a mug of coffee, and a half-sliced avocado. Behind him, the kitchen counter is lit by a gentle morning sun, and a dish rack holds a few clean plates.

Havanese are cheerful, sociable dogs that love to be at the center of the household, which includes the breakfast table. Their curly, silky coats need regular brushing, and their wise eyes are always searching for a treat. Many breakfast foods are unsafe for dogs: coffee and caffeine are toxic, butter is very rich, and some jams and sweeteners can be harmful. If your dog has eaten something from the table, call your vet and tell them what it was.

The dog is very polite about the whole thing, and he is not stealing so much as supervising the situation. His expression says that he would be happy to taste the food if invited, and he knows that begging has a very good success rate. Breakfast is still waiting, and so is he, with the patience of a dog who has all morning. If patience were a talent, he would win every breakfast contest in town.
