I’m surprised the Golden didn’t try to snarf down his buddy’s plate as well. “You done with that? Too late!”

That cute little scene in _Lady and the Tramp_ where they’re sharing a spaghetti dinner? Total crock.

The brand the neighbor’s dog eats is Cesar. Some of the flavors are your mundane Chicken and Beef, even Bacon. But they also have Tenderloin Steak and Filet Mignon flavors. That seems awfully specific.
