My beloved Irish Setter Clancy, now gone, was not fond of veggies. We once gave him some leftovers that contained peas. Later we noticed everything was gone except the peas which were delicately piled up in his dish. We’ve often wondered just how he managed that since he usually wolfed down his food. I guess his tongue had veggie radar.
When I was young, we had a collie that would do the same thing. Mom always let him lick out the Dutch oven she cooked beef stew in and she’d leave a few peas in the sauce. When he was finished, every pea was still there, without fail.
Funny to find out Tavish wasn’t the only one with that skill. LOL
We had a dog that did the same thing with mushroom slices.
Had a Saint Bernard that did the same thing! Never could figure out how he did that.
