Age: 5 years.
Breed: Fox terrier cross.
Hobbies: Long walks, barking at people walking past my house, burying bones in my humans’ raised garden bed, sitting on laps.
Food loves: Snow peas, carrots, cheese, peanut butter, Schmackos.
What is Frank thinking right now: Keep giving me snacks and I’ll pose for your damn photo shoot.
Most memorable moment: When I chewed through multiple pairs of my humans’ Havaianas. I have expensive taste.
How I have helped my special humans: I am very loving. I make my humans feel important, because I want to be with them, sit with them (and on them) and lick them constantly. Until I’ve had enough. Then, I let them know when I need some “me” time.
“You should love me. It’s inevitable with a face like this.”
Frank.

Frank is just following his basic instincts when he safely stashes his bones in his mum’s raised garden bed.
Back in the day when wild dogs roamed around in packs, they had to work a lot harder than our modern day pooches and hunt for their own food. Once these wild canine ancestors of our contemporary furkids had filled their bellies, they would bury any leftovers in the dirt. This protected the meat from decaying in the sun, and from any nosey freeloaders looking for some grub.
There are other reasons why a dog may bury food and other objects. Check out the RSPCA Australia website to find out why your doggy is digging more holes than one of Tony Soprano’s henchman.
