That little guy is working on a stick like it's the last breadstick at a table he doesn't want to leave. Small tan paws, one ear up, one ear doing whatever it wants, total focus. Tongue slightly out. The carpet under him is that gray-beige of a cafe floor at closing time. The room smells like puppy, which is a smell I'd pay for. Warm. Clean. A little bit like popcorn, don't ask me why. Maybe it's the fur. Maybe it's him. He's been at that stick for an hour. Slow eating. Proper chewing. Respect. I've met adults with less table manners. Behind him there's a cage, a desk, the ordinary furniture of a working afternoon, and none of it matters because there's a puppy eating a stick with his whole chest. That's the good stuff. Ten out of ten. #puppy #chewstick #dogsofinstagram
