A Rescue Dog Was Caught Slurping Spaghetti Like a Real Italian

AI imagerescue muttspaghettikitchen

Strands of spaghetti hang from the corners of the scruffy gray dog's mouth like a very messy mustache, and red sauce flecks his whiskers. In front of him, the plate has tipped over on the floor, with a nest of pasta and tomato sauce spilling across the boards. His amber eyes are bright, and a tiny smile curls the edge of his mouth, as if he is quite satisfied with his dinner. A heap of laundry lies behind him.

Plain cooked pasta is generally not harmful to dogs in small amounts, but the sauce is a different matter. Tomato sauces often contain onion and garlic, which can be toxic to dogs, and they are often salty and rich. If your dog eats pasta with sauce, especially a large amount, call your vet and tell them what was in it. Rescue dogs often have a passion for food, since many remember lean times, and a few puzzle toys can help turn that enthusiasm into a game.

He looks like a happy diner who has just finished a good meal and is not in a hurry to leave. The spaghetti is half in his mouth and half on the floor, and he is not even trying to hide it. It might be the funniest sight of the evening, and it certainly means that dinner will have to be rescheduled.
