    If you’ve ever had a food obsessed dog you will have witnessed them going back to their food bowl some time after eating their dinner to give it another lick, just in case some food had materialised.

    In our family, we believe there is a special bed time story, passed down from mother to puppy, of the Dog With the Magical Refilling Dinner Bowl. Puppies remember this story, and check their bowls every night, just in case they are lucky like the dog in the story.

    In order to ensure the story lives on, for our dogs birthdays we will feed them, wait for them to finish and wander off, then quietly refill their bowls with another full dinner. Without fail, every time, our dogs will come back to their bowls and do an actual, comical, boggle-eyed double-take when they realise there is food in the bowl again.

      How in the world do you manage to open up the food container and fill their bowls silently enough for them to not come sprinting from across the house the moment they hear it?
