Dogs have an inverse 5 second rule. We use it as “you can pick up the food and eat it if it falls on the floor, provided you pick it up within 5 seconds”. Daft rule, but we won’t go into that. For dogs, if the food is on the floor, it has to be all eaten within 5 seconds
My dear one and only pooch passed in Dec of 2021. From the time he came to me as a pup in 2007, my cats had to have their feeding station moved onto a high surface he could not reach. He loved their food! Lol.
My corgi is like Rex. Yesterday I accidently dropped about half a cup of frozen blueberries. She had the floor clean before I could reach up and grab a cleaning towel. I held onto the paper towel for 10 minutes… Then cleaned it up. If you’ve ever owned an indiscriminate 4 legged vacuum cleaner you know Exactly what I mean.

Do dogs ask questions after or just not question things at all?

Dogs don’t think before they eat.
