I've just come home from a business trip to London. On the coffee table is an open packet of chocolate biscuits which I left on Sunday. My good mastiff has been at home, unsupervised, all the time I've been away and didn't touch a crumb.
I hasten to add that Mr Thug has been home but as the weather has been foul George was in the house rather than being outside. Mr Thug goes home for his lunch so George isn't home alone for very long. I'm impressed, I couldn't leave an open packet of biscuits.

haha, bless him!
When I had my previous dog (std poodle) I had to be careful about leaving food within his reach - he once polished off the best part of a lovely nutty country loaf I'd left on the worktop for only about 10 mins...how he managed to swallow it (being so dry & chewy) in that time I don't know. He drank a lot of water that day but he didn't want much dinner!
I'd left a box of chocs on a low shelf for about 3 weeks with those last 5 or 6 in the bottom that you don't really like but will eat when there's absolutely nothing else. One day I was busy in the garden when suddenly my dog bounded up, threw the empty box down in front of me & stood 'grinning' as if to say 'Well I guessed you didn't want them so I've done you a favour!'

George is a very large dog (15st+) so I'm not sure a few chocolate biscuits would harm him. May be different for a smaller dog.
I got a mental picture of the 2 of them swilling beer and eating pizza. LOL. But George only gets healthy food, lots of chicken and pasta. I'm not saying anything about Mr Thug!

Glad you mentioned that Masterchef, I was talking to a vet friend the other day who told me that last Easter they had 7 dogs come in with chocolate poisoning and 2 of them died, he said that alot of people don't realise how toxic chocolate is and often symtoms don't appear for a few hours and often it's too late, thankyou for mentioning it , it might save a few dogs this Christmas, dark chocolate and baking chocolate have a lot more theobromine in them.
