Bella the black lab / golden retriever mix was given the smaller of the two toys and in no time figured out how to get the treat by tossing it up in the air and letting it drop on the floor until it popped out.
Bruno was given the larger one and admittedly the harder one to get the treat out of. He laid down and started working away at the opening trying to lick the treat out with his tongue.
Once Bella was done with her treat she started to harass him, trying to steal his away from him. He responded in typical dog fashion and I had to step in to get her to leave him alone. After the scolding the two lay on the floor in peaceful harmony with Bruno sort of working on the Kong toy and sort of resting his paw on it as if to say this in mine.
Soon Bella was whining, her head down on the floor and scooting on her belly inch by inch toward Bruno.
Then Something I have never seen before happened. Bruno stood up, picked up his Kong and gently offered it to Bella. She put her mouth on it very carefully and for a few seconds the two of them sat there holding it together, then Bruno let go and turned away. It was as if she was saying "Please, Please, Please" and he responded with sure, here you go. Then they laid down by each other, content with life.
