Dogs are the bestest. Although, I put my plate on the bench next to my bed, and my dog who was on the bed, decided to walk over and chow down on all the stuff on it while I was in the bathroom! It was only scraps that I probably would have fed to her later, but the fact that she decided to just eat it off the plate so brazenly got me! She's usually so good about it. It reminds me of when she was a tiny puppy. I'd been sitting on a pillow on the floor, eating at the coffee table. I got up to go get something and she got up on the pillow and stood up and it gave her just enough height to start eating fried rice off my plate! That little pudgey pup!
