If he is like Georgia (yellow lab) he's looking for the whole ham to eat before the party it was baked for. Georgia felt quite sick after wolfing that ham.
He's imagining the table is full and he's sitting there talking to everybody and eating with them! He feels left out and alone.He wants to be part of the family!
I would happily dine with Gus. I'm thinking plat du jour places to keep the prices down, but the occasional red M because Gus appreciates one star food without star fuss
We all want a place at the table, and Gus's example should remind us that including all means including those we don't think of as frequently as we should. Good job Gus.
Awww, He missed his family. So sweet. My recently dearly departed boxer/pitbull would sit with us at the table if there was an open chair. Jasper knew he belonged wherever we were and whatever we were doing.
I can see the logic. The family sits round the table to eat, so surely if doggo sits there, food will happen. Poor blighter's got the munchies but not the opposable thumbs to open a pack of oreos
One explanation (there are many!) is that he is testing the hypothesis that the reason you *know stuff* and are *top dog* is because you sit at a table every day. Gus doesn't necessarily think he *will* become human, but he thinks it *might* work. He may be happier now, but he doesn't know that.
I was going to say. If we are late to eat my dog takes his place by his empty bowl because he eats with us. If we are late going to bed, he will sit at the base of the stairs, tapping his foot.
it's not natural for dogs to be alone - they're pack animals - and, if humans are Gus's pack I suspect he's doing whatever he can to create the pack feeling.

Visitor and was waiting for a
Good meal?

How did we find out? He ate a stick of butter.
That didn’t end well, but he survived.
We stopped keeping butter on the table after that!
Where you at?? 😆😆😆
No elbows on the table 🤣👍🏼
Maybe reacting to a spirit in the house?
“See? I am a Good Boy.”
Der der der what’s for dinner?
who normally occupies that particular chair.....?
@itsanhomage
Feel sorry for him, I'd put the tv on a timer and give him some entertainment or something. It's lonely to be home alone with nothing to do.
So Gus here clearly has a happy life 🥰
