Dog Treat Torture!

by Monika Bartyzel, Posted Dec 21st 2008 @ 9:28AM

Those Japanese television people really know how to up the ante. I practiced treat torture as a kid -- placing treats on the dog's nose, making them stay still as their eyes gaze longingly at the morsel sitting just right there. My family would put a flair on it and get our dogs to flip it and catch it in the air, but that's nothing compared to the Japanese television show above.

They take treat torture to the extreme. We're talking dogs salivating as more and more treats get placed on their snout and head. We're talking about a dog laying still as hundreds of treats get placed on his body. Heck, there's even a chimpanzee.

Go figure -- these pets have more foodie restraint than I could even dream of.
