“He is definitely smart as a whip!”
Buckwheat may finish his dinner at home, but that doesn’t mean he considers the evening meal complete.
This clever dog has figured out a very effective way to ask for seconds.
A few years ago, Buckwheat’s mom, Stephanie, moved with her husband into a home right next door to her in-laws. Soon after, she noticed Buckwheat had developed a strange habit after dinner.
Once he finished eating, he would pick up his empty bowl and carry it outside.
At first, Stephanie wasn’t sure what he was doing. But after watching him walk up the path toward her in-laws’ house several times, she decided to follow him.
That’s when she discovered Buckwheat’s little trick.
He was taking his bowl next door to ask for another meal.
Every time he arrived, someone would reward his effort with a second helping. Stephanie’s mother-in-law especially loved spoiling him and was happy to give him the extra attention — and extra food.
Sadly, Stephanie’s mother-in-law recently passed away. But Buckwheat’s routine has not ended. Stephanie’s father-in-law has continued the sweet tradition, giving Buckwheat an extra portion whenever he shows up with his bowl.
Even though there is already a bowl waiting for him at the in-laws’ house, Buckwheat still prefers to bring one along. After eating, he carries one bowl back home like his mission is complete.
Buckwheat gets plenty of exercise, but his successful search for second dinners has left him with a little extra weight. Still, his family can’t help but laugh at how clever and determined he is.
After all, Buckwheat didn’t just hope for more food — he created an entire routine to make sure he got it.
