If that pizza was family sized that is a massive dachshund. ๐Ÿ˜‚

[โ€“] ickplant@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago

I can't tell if the dog is massive or if it's the camera lens. I know my dachshund mix is huge because she is mixed with (probably) Jack Russell terrier, and she is thicc. Tons of muscle.

That might just be the family size in Australia

[โ€“] KanadrAllegria@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Entirely possible, but it looks more like a north America personal size in the pic. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Maybe Aussies don't like their pizza as much us North Americans do.

In the US that box holds one slice, I reckon.

[โ€“] KanadrAllegria@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago

Depends on where in the US. NYC? one slice for sure.

Where I'm from that box would hold a 4 slice personal pizza. Six if you're lucky.

Standard Dachsund's are pretty big -especially compared to the miniature ๐Ÿง

It's never the dog's fault. That face is telling me "I know I wasn't supposed to do that, but I couldn't not do it, because I'm just a dog."

I made herb roasted chicken. That dog is a hero indeed.

That dog isn't that big, that must've been a deep dish to be family size

I remember buying a cheese steak and eating it while driving back to wherever I was coming from. I was making a left hand turn and as I rounded the intersection my little monster snatched that shit right out my right hand. Went to the back and proceeded to devour it as I helplessly watched incoherently cursing in the rearview. Little fucker didn't even share it with his mother either. Boy I miss my little ones!

If your dog does this make sure to watch them for bloat, because they could actually die.
