Ever caught your dog sneaking off to bury a bone or a squeaky toy in the backyard, under a pillow, or even in a potted plant? 🐶 That funny little habit actually goes way back to their wild ancestors, who buried leftover food to keep it safe from rivals and save it for later. Your pup doesn't need to worry about going hungry anymore, but the instinct is still very much alive! If your dog loves digging up the garden to hide their treasures, try not to scold them — just set up a sand pit or a soft digging spot where they can bury away to their heart's content. Does your dog have a favorite hiding spot for their toys? What's the weirdest thing you've caught them trying to bury? 😄
