[Dailydrool] Sleeping Dogs

I'm convinced that food-relating hearing is actually a completely different sense in hounds. Waldo was completely deaf the last year or so of his life - he was actually vet-tested, and supposedly had no hearing left. And yet he could also tell when there was food in the offing even from the back of the yard.

especially the older ones like Mitchell, who may not hear you coming. (But can hear a piece of bread being buttered from the back of the yard with all the doors and windows closed.)
