Newfoundlanders look forward to licking the frosting off their whisks, like children in grandma’s kitchen.

Newfoundlanders look forward to licking the frosting off their whisks, like children in grandma’s kitchen.

Dogs who are motivated by food often become our most loyal helpers in the kitchen. Depending on what I’m cooking, mine usually stay close to me, hoping to taste their favorite treats. They know that their charm can stimulate my generosity, and my occasional clumsiness often leads to tasty surprises.

These Newfoundlands have an adorable way of showing their support by baking a cake. Their eagerness to scrape the icing off their whisks rivals that of any child. Watch them act as mom’s best little helpers in this video posted on November 3:

I can’t decide what’s more adorable: their fantastically bizarre hairstyles or the sight of their tiny teeth gnawing on the beaters of a mixer. It’s an explosion of cuteness! These charming Newfoundlanders (@cocoandolliethenewfs) aren’t just taste testers; they’re the quality control inspectors who make sure their aunt’s birthday cake is nothing short of spectacular. CocoaPuff and Ollie approach their tasting duties with grace, like true experts in their field. My dogs always give me this final criticism of Thanksgiving mashed potatoes before serving them to the family. It’s hard work, but luckily our puppies are always willing to do it.

Can dogs tell when we’re doing something good?

Dogs have an exceptionally keen sense of smell, much more sensitive than that of humans, which allows them to detect and distinguish a wide variety of odors. According to VCA Animal Hospitals, dogs also have a good memory for smells. When we frequently prepare meals that they find delicious, or that result in leftovers or treats, they will quickly learn to recognize those specific smells and sounds. They are also very observant of human behavior. When we are excited or focused on cooking, our dogs can pick up on that enthusiasm, interpreting it as a sign that something good is happening. According to Scientific Americanone study found that dogs were more likely to choose a smaller plate of food if their human was excited about it than a plate containing more food.

People applauded the efforts of these cute puppies. Viewer @disneys_newfie_world replied: “Wonderful sacrifice you two made being frosting testers!” They made a commendable effort. Viewer @hello.im.pearl shared, “Oooh, the cream cheese frosting is my favorite too! Lol, enjoy, cuties!” It’s hard to win. Another person remarked: “This is one way to rinse it before putting it in the dishwasher!” This saves water!

When it’s time to celebrate, our dogs are ready to join the party. Their grateful demeanor and cheerful nature always make them one of the most delightful participants in any gathering.
