A Saint Bernard Left the Butter Dish Perfectly Clean

AI imagesaint bernardbutterkitchen

There is butter in his whiskers, and the dish beside him is licked clean. A big red-and-white Saint Bernard sits next to a kitchen table, his droopy dark eyes turned away from the camera and his thick fur forming a ruff around his neck. A pale smear of yellow shines on his chin.

A tan dish towel rests on the table behind the empty butter dish, and a kitchen with pale tile and warm wood is blurred in the background. Everything is oversized in this picture, and the dog is much too big to be missed. There is not a single crumb of butter left on the dish, which suggests the job was done with great care and a very big tongue.

Saint Bernards are gentle giants from the Swiss Alps who were once used to help travelers in the snow. They are known for being friendly, patient, and good with families, but they are also large dogs who can reach counters easily. Butter is high in fat, and a big helping can cause an upset stomach or serious problems like pancreatitis in some dogs, so call your vet if a dog eats a lot. Use a covered butter dish, keep food away from the table edge, and supervise your dog in the kitchen. This breed also drools, so keep a towel handy.

The big softie looks sorry in his enormous way. At least he left the dish tidy.
