A Newfoundland Sits Very Still Beside the Spilled Cookie Tin

AI imagenewfoundlandcookie tinholidays

A round holiday tin has rolled onto its side, and round cookies are scattered across the floor in a golden trail. A huge black Newfoundland sits beside it with dark, wide eyes and a few crumbs stuck to his muzzle. His fur is thick and fluffy, and a sofa and a play corner sit softly in the background. He is as still as a boulder.

Newfoundlands are gentle giants with a calm, patient nature, and they love being around people. They have a good nose and strong jaws, and they are not shy about food. A cookie tin left on a low table or the floor is easy for a dog of this size to reach, and a gentle nudge is all it takes to pop off a lid.

Holiday cookies can be dangerous for dogs. Chocolate, raisins and nuts like macadamias are toxic, and artificial sweeteners such as xylitol can be very harmful. If your dog eats cookies and you are not sure what was in them, call your vet or a pet poison hotline right away. Keep tins on high shelves, and ask guests to do the same with treats in their bags.

The Newfoundland sits there, calm and solemn, with his crumbs on display. He is a very large dog who has made a very small mistake. Whatever the cookies were, he is certain they were delicious.
