How to Feed a Dog

This is how you feed a dog. First you get the bowl then you scoop out a cup of dog food and put some warm water into the bowl with the food. Finaly you bring it out to your dog and watch it gobbel it all up as fast as a jet then it will love you forever. And you will be happy you got a dog.
