“Never trust a dog to watch your food.”
The Sage has made many questionable decisions in his long life, but none as consistently disastrous as trusting a dog to guard his food. Today, he shares the distilled wisdom of these countless failures: “Never trust a dog to watch your food.” It sounds obvious — but as The Sage knows, hunger makes optimists of us all. The moment you walk away, that “loyal” companion becomes a furry vacuum cleaner.
Dogs, he explains, operate on a simple moral principle: If it is edible, it is mine; if it is not edible, I will still attempt to eat it. Leaving your food under a dog’s supervision is like leaving your tax return with a goat. You may return to find a very satisfied animal — but your dinner (and dignity) will be gone. Even the best-behaved dog struggles when faced with an unattended sandwich. It’s not disobedience… it’s destiny.
So take The Sage’s advice: if you value your meal, keep it in your hands, on your plate, or locked in a safe. Dogs are wonderful companions, loyal protectors, and enthusiastic thieves. Trust them with your heart — but never, ever with your lunch.
