A German Shepherd Grins Beside a Floor Full of Tissues

AI imagegerman shepherdtissue boxliving room

A big black-and-tan German Shepherd smiles with a tiny, hopeful grin, and ears pointing straight up like two tall triangles. Beside him is a cardboard box torn open and full of crumpled white tissues, with more tissues scattered across the wooden floor. Little scraps cling to his muzzle.

The living room behind him is bright and cozy, with a couch with a cream blanket, a basket of laundry, a mug, a pair of glasses, and a plant by the window. A rope toy lies near the couch as if it had been ignored in favor of the tissues. Sunlight spills across the floor and picks out every crumpled tissue, which makes the mess look almost like a field of white flowers.

German Shepherds are intelligent, loyal, and hardworking dogs who often excel at training and need lots of exercise. They like to have a job, and a bored shepherd may find his own, such as pulling tissues out of a box one by one. Tissues are not safe to eat in large quantities, since they can cause stomach upset or a blockage, so pick them up quickly and call your vet if he swallows a lot. Give him a puzzle toy or a safe chewing toy, and a daily walk or training session. Keep tissue boxes out of reach in the bedroom and living room.

He wears his guilty grin like a badge. The tissues are everywhere, but so is his charm.
