Temptation

A little game we play with Buddy in the pub. "Dog Dilemma"

Ok, there is a dog biscuit on the table, he knows he can reach it, but he's not sure if he is allowed it.

The only time he will take it is if:
A) no-one is watching him.
B) he gets the nod from someone to take it.

So he looks up to check if you are watching him, but at the same time he is reluctant to take his eyes off the biscuit.

In the end he usually drools so much or gives you those big old sad eyes, that you can't help but capitulate and give him the nod. Alternatively you can deliberately ignore him, in which case he quietly steals it and then acts all innocent.
