The sound of the biscuit tin lid detected at a quarter of a mile when asleep, slight exaggeration but not far off.

I have a Lab.

I didn't even realise this was possible.
Lol, I read recently that Labs actually have a gene that makes them prone to getting fat!

When he was about 6 months old he got into a binbag full of dry dog food. I'd locked it away, but he found a way in.

He was quite skinny, but by the time I found him (could only have been 1 minute) he had eaten so much that he was literally ball shaped.

Took him to the vet (he couldn't walk, he waddled along like a duck, and squealing with pain), they said his stomach was stuffed so solidly that they couldn't push the tube in to try and extract any food. They did an x-ray and it's no exaggeration to say he was more food than dog. They showed us all of his internal organs had been pushed into the wrong place by his gigantic stomach.

Took him home, first thing he does when he gets in is hobble painfully up to where the binbag was, to see if there's any more food.

Genuinely laughing at my desk imagining that.

Also imagining the complete lack of guilt that dog would have had. rofl
