Raeside is right about Labs and food, but he doesn’t capture their passion when they see it.
Zoe is part Lab. This was her reaction to seeing a piece of Chateaubriand.
And there was this 2019 incident Tempi wrote about when Zoe was recovering from being hit by a car:
Zoe was “helping” mom prepare dinner. This basically means she sits in a corner and looks pathetic hoping that someone will respond to her by giving her more food (a kibble and wet food dinner not being sufficient for her). On this occasion, she seemed more subdued. She lay down in the corner and rested her head on her paws and shared those big brown eyes rather than sitting on Mom’s feet. Due to her recent accident, our Mother was very worried and laid along side of her as the carb food (barley) continued to cook and the meat food (pork) rested. She pet Zoe and said we loved Zoe (not sure who “we” are, but Mom was serious and said it over and over). Zoe really played up her misery, getting lots of good pets and kisses from Mom. That is until she saw her moment to strike – and moving like a lightning flash (or a cobra)- she jumped up, rushed to the counter, slurped up a pork chop off the plate before Mom could even get to her feet. Fortunately, she (Mom) was quick enough to spare the second chop the same fate. Somehow the vegetables remained intact.

cant stop laughing! just tooo funny, and Beau must have lab hiding in his dna, because he does the same thing, but he never takes anything not offered, even if it falls on the floor, he waits for me to say clean it up beau, if he is not in the kitchen i yell clean up needed in the kitchen… i have said many times that I to must have been a lab in another life because I eat just like they do, gobble/swallow like someone will steal it from me and will eat until i pop if it is insight. hurts me to hear about Zoe hit by a car
😀
HA! That’s too funny and labs are such sweeties but I didn’t know they were foodies! Zoe is beautiful!
She is definitely food-driven! 😀
What a precious story … I’m dying over here!
I think that image of her delight belongs on speciality packaging everywhere.
That’s a great idea. 🙂
What a sly dog!! The look on Zoe’s face is like me upon seeing chocolate.
😀
Oh the story about Zoe is just too funny. I had a chocolate lab who once ate three batches of chocolate covered pretzels in one day. I made them, left them on the dining room table to cool and he got up and ate them all. I made another batch, same thing. On the third batch I put them in an upstairs bedroom with the door closed and he somehow got that door open and ate the third batch. I gave up.
They are persistent! 😀
