A Silver Weimaraner Was Caught With a Buttery Chin

AI imageweimaranerbutterkitchen

The butter dish has been licked clean, and the evidence is shining on his whiskers. A silver-grey Weimaraner named Slate stares into the lens with wide pale eyes, a bit of yellow butter clinging to his nose and mouth. In front of him two butter dishes sit empty on the counter with smears all over them, and a spoon and a few kitchen items lie nearby. He has not moved a muscle.

Weimaraners are tall, sleek hunting dogs with a quiet, elegant look and a very athletic build. They are known for being smart, loyal and sometimes a bit mischievous when they are not getting enough exercise. Their sense of smell is superb, so a butter dish on a low surface does not stand a chance. Daily running and mental challenges help channel their intelligence.

Butter is not poisonous to dogs, but it is very rich and fatty. A big helping can lead to an upset stomach or, in some dogs, a more serious inflammation of the pancreas, so it is worth calling your vet if your dog eats a large amount. Keep butter and other fatty foods covered and out of reach, especially around the holidays when baking is common.

Slate stays frozen in the spotlight, as shiny-whiskered as a movie star. It may be the most luxurious snack he has ever had, and he looks like he knows it.
