My dog is pretty much always polite with the food, but one night I had a piece of smoked gouda with bacon... I sat down and opened the plastic that it was sealed with and the dog immediately started sniffing the air and came up to me. As his nose tried to get closer, I moved the cheese back away from him. Usually he gets the clue that he's overstepping and sits down, but this was too much for him. He kept coming and I kept moving it away, up past my body (I was sitting on the couch) and even over my head. He slowly followed it, climbing into my lap (he's about 80 lbs) and continuing up my body, trying to get a better smell of the cheese. It was like he was hypnotized. heheheh
