Perhaps one of the most remarkable qualities that our doggos have is the fact that they absolutely love eating. But despite their love affair with food, there are some items that they wouldn’t touch with a ten-foot pole, and among them is lettuce.
Overall, our fur babies love human food because it’s a lot tastier compared to dry kibble. But given the fact that lettuce is mostly water, it doesn’t exactly get our pup’s tails wagging as it has no flavor. Though it would be quite amazing if we could get them to eat lettuce as it’s a healthy snack that has very few calories.
If you are one of those doggo parents who couldn’t get their pups to eat lettuce, then you should take some pointers from the dog dad in the video below. This genius man from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, found a way to get his Golden Retriever named Goose to eat lettuce all the time!
Basically, he just acts as if the lettuce he’s eating is the tastiest food he’s ever had. And of course, since human food is involved, this is enough for the doggo to want a bite, too!
In the hilarious clip below, we can see that Goose had his eyes locked on the lettuce in his dad’s hand before his owner even does the “acting” bit. This goes to show that whatever this genius man was doing before, it’s super effective.
Goose even took a bite of the lettuce while his hooman explained to the camera what was going on. In the second part of the doggie clip, the man shows the trick to the camera, and literally two seconds after, Goose already started biting on the other end of the lettuce!
If your doggo is a picky eater, you could give this technique a try. Just don’t feed them too much lettuce as it could upset their tummies.
Check out Goose, the lettuce-obsessed doggo in the clip below.
