My husband was cooking pork chops last night. He stepped a way for a couple of seconds and turned around and my dog had his front paws up on the counter. He thought he'd lost the pork chops, but No. My dog didn't want the pork chops. He wanted to chase the red dot which is associated with our IR meat thermometer.
What kind of dog wants to chase a red dot more than he wants pork chops? A Leonberger.
