The dog performs well, better than most humans. I know exactly what it's feeling. A perfectly good sandwich, and even some chips. just sitting there doing nothing, like a photograph.
I certainly have to grin, loving dogs and their ways. You have a sweet sense of humor. The point of focus, so rightly on her or his expression, leaves the remainder of a meal, close to us, in soft focus. This generalizes the object of desire and brings out a universal truth about dogs and food. My first thought was, "I'm going to get there first," but I've been beaten out so many times by my dog that this might be a pipe dream.
Thank you.
