So my niece just told me

Uncle I spilled animal crackers on kitchen floor. She is four I told her that is fine no problem. I called boog into the kitchen and boog cleaned them up. She laughed I said every house needs a chocolate lab vacuum cleaner kiddo. Now boog is drooling watching her eat animal crackers. Kid boog dogs love you and animal crackers.

She knew that she was not to beg food at the table, but as soon as I started to put a meal on the table, she would lay down underneath the table in order to snatch up any morsel that might fall on the floor. She was rarely disappointed.

The little one spilled a bowl of (dry) Cheerios all over the kitchen floor. I summoned my granddog Lucy, another lab/food vacuum, and she had the floor clean in seconds.

When a dog lives under your roof?

"Any food that falls on the floor is mine."
