Every night after dinner, Poppy, the Boxer, shares the sweetest little routine with her dad. As soon as she finishes eating, she goes to find him and leads him back to the kitchen so he can personally inspect her empty bowl.

Make sure your sound is on so you can hear Dad praising her for cleaning her plate before the two of them head to the pantry for a well-earned treat. The look on Poppy’s face and her nonstop wagging tail make it clear this is one of her favorite parts of the day!

Talk about a smart dog! We’re wondering if there’s ever a time when Poppy doesn’t finish dinner; it never happens at our house!
