A Saint Bernard Puppy Went Row by Row Through the Vegetable Garden

AI imagesaint bernardvegetable gardenpuppy

With his nose close to the soil and his big white paws stepping carefully, a red and white Saint Bernard puppy makes his way down the garden path. Lettuce, herbs and tomato plants grow on both sides, and he checks each one with a thoughtful sniff. Garden pots, a watering can and a shed stand in the background of a busy backyard.

Gardens are exciting for a curious puppy, but some vegetables and plants are unsafe for dogs. Onions, garlic, grapes and some others can be harmful, and garden chemicals such as fertilizers and slug baits can be dangerous. Keep these locked away and know what grows in your yard. If your puppy eats something it should not, call your vet right away.

Saint Bernards are known for their gentle, calm temperament, even as puppies. They tend to be careful with their big feet, though a young pup can easily trample a seedling. Teaching a puppy to stay on the path with treats and praise helps protect the plants and keeps your dog safe.

He is not in a hurry. The tomatoes are not going anywhere, and he has plenty of time to inspect every leaf. Every so often he lifts his head to check that the coast is clear, and then goes right back to his careful survey of the vegetables, one leaf at a time.
