"All dogs do this...they hide their food so they can eat it later. He’s burying his “food” for later, when he’s more hungry."

Meanwhile, Briefly News earlier reported that while cats and dogs are not always the best of friends and often stay away from each other, seeing a puppy trying to cause a fight between two feline animals is one amazing sight to behold.
