Researchers studying what dogs like to eat have found that the appetite of pet dogs is affected by the taste, texture and smell of the food, and also by the owners’ food preferences, their perception of their pet, and the physical environment in which the dog is eating.
A dog’s sense of smell is one of the keenest in nature. If a pot of stew is cooking on a stove, a human smells the stew, but a dog smells the beef, carrots, peas, potatoes, spices and all the other individual ingredients.
“My dog, she looks at me sometimes with that look, and I think maybe deep down inside she must know exactly how I feel. But then maybe she just wants the food off my plate." -Dave Barry

Don’t give your dog Tylenol or any ibuproprins. The ONLY safe over-the-counter medication for stiffness or arthritis is plain aspirin.
