There’s a neighbourhood cat that used to visit us regularly, angling for food. We suspected she had been fed several times already at other neighbouring houses – and the care home across the road – so we always resisted. And she always kept trying.
Dogs do the same thing around the dinner table. Even when the owners are consistent about not giving them anything there, they keep trying. It’s worth a try. 🙂
my brother when he was four used to go to the neighbors house.
they were older and retired and they adored him.
he always told them he hadn’t had breakfast. (and he HAD!)
nevertheless he sat and ate theirs with them. he had his own plate too.
thank goodness they were friends with my mother and KNEW he was not neglected in the least!
love the cartoon!

The oldest trick for any dog.
But not the bouncing, it’s usually soulful looks. 🙂
Reminds me of my children when they were little, trying to play one against the other when they wanted something! Took us a while to catch on!
Smart kids!
the world over, obviously built in the genetics of the structure – whether human or animal…
It’s no doubt a survival instinct.

It worked for him! 🙂
